JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The University of Louisville track and field program completed competition at the 2021 NCAA East Preliminary Round Saturday afternoon at Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla.
On the final day of the prelims, senior Renate van Tonder finished tied for 18th in the high jump, clearing 1.72m (5-7.75).
After four days of action, the Cardinals will send four athletes to the NCAA Championships. Aliyah Welter will represent the Louisville women in the pole vault.
On the men's side Trey Allen will compete in the high jump after a sixth-place finish and a personal-best in the NCAA Prelims.

Adar Sheere also notched his second NCAA Championship bid with an eighth place showing in the discus throw.
"We are really proud of the way our squads handled the 2020-21 season," said UofL head coach Dale Cowper.
