INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The NCAA has announced the field for the 2022 Division III men's and women's outdoor track and field championship to be held at SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio on May 26-28 and McDaniel junior Nick Razze (Pitman, N.J./Pitman) is among those invited.
Razze earned the invitation in the 400 hurdles after posting a program-record time of 52.94 seconds to win the Centennial Conference championship on May 8.
It is Razze's first trip to the NCAA championship meet. He is the first Green Terror men's 400 hurdler to attend since Kent Lightbourn was an All-American in the event in 1994.
Razze became the second Green Terror athlete in program history to break 53 seconds in the hurdles when he established a conference meet record with the gold-medal performance. Lightbourn ran 52.95 in his semifinal race at the 1994 NCAA championship meet.
Razze enters the NCAA championship with the 10th-ranked time. With a total of 20 competitors, the preliminaries will be contested at 6:25 p.m. on Thursday with the top nine advancing to the finals on Saturday at 2:25 p.m. The top eight finishers earn All-America status.
