ITHACA, N.Y. – On Saturday evening, May 15, the NCAA released its official qualifiers for the upcoming Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships hosted by the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse from May 21-23 and three members of the Ithaca College women's team will compete for national titles.
The Bombers will be sending
Talia Hutchinson,
Rachel Larson and
Lily Seyfert, who were All-Americans during the indoor season and enter this year's Outdoor Championship seeded within the top six nationally.
Hutchinson will be up first for IC as she will compete in the pole vault final at 1 p.m. on Thursday. Hutchinson owns the sixth-best mark in Division III this season with a clearance of 4.01 meters in what looks to be a highly competitive championship as the top eight vaulters are separated by just .11 meters (4.25 inches). Hutchison placed fifth at this year's Indoor Championships.
Lily Seyfert will represent the Bombers in the shot put championship, which begins at 2 p.m. on Friday. Seyfert qualified with a top performance of 14.04 meters to reach the top five nationally and is one of seven throwers to eclipse 14.00 meters this season. Seyfert earned a part of Second Team All-America honors at indoors this season, just missing the podium in the weight throw with a ninth place showing.
Rachel Larson is also in action on Friday with the preliminary race of the 100-meter hurdles at 5:05 p.m. If she finishes in the top eight in the prelim, Larson will move onto the final at 2:50 p.m. on Saturday. Larson ran the fourth-fastest time in the nation this season at 13.76 seconds, which set a new school record. She placed third at the 2025 Outdoor Championships and looks to add her fourth All-America honor of her career as she also finished within the top eight twice in the 60-meter hurdles during indoors.
