Sophomore Jessica Fields (Las Vegas, NV) represented the University of Redlands at the 2018 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships on Friday in Birmingham, AL, at the Birmingham CrossPlex.
Despite running the second-fastest time of her heat, Fields just missed out on a qualifying time for the finals. During the preliminaries, she completed the 60 Hurdles in 8.95 seconds, which placed her in a tie for eighth overall, with the top eight competitors moving onto Saturday's finals. Unfortunately, extending the time out to the 1000th of a second left Fields on the outside of the qualifiers by 0.005.

The Redlands track & field teams compete on Saturday, March 10, at the Oxy Distance Festival and Sprint Carnival in Eagle Rock at 2 p.m.
