BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Jeremiah Willis and Sean Roth earned their spots at the NCAA Outdoor Championships as the University of Louisville track and field team concluded day one of the NCAA Outdoor East Preliminary Round at Indiana's Robert C. Haugh Complex in Bloomington, Ind.

On his final attempt, Willis posted the third best mark of the men's long jump field with a personal-best of 7.91m (25-11.5) to become the first Cardinal to punch his ticket to Eugene. The mark ranks as the second-best performance in Louisville's outdoor history.

Roth cleared a height of 5.29m (17-4.25) to advance to the national meet. This bar is the second highest of Roth's outdoor career.

Sterling Warner-Savage finished in the top-three of his heat with a school-record time of 10.15 seconds to secure automatic qualification for the men's 100-meter quarterfinals on Friday. The time surpasses the previous record of 10.27 seconds that Warner-Savage clocked at the ACC Outdoor Championships this season.

Competition resumes Thursday with the women's hammer throw at 10:00 a.m. ET. Reigning All-ACC trio of Gabriela Leon, Aliyah Welter and Auriane Viola will be the first to compete for Louisville when they take part in the women's pole vault at 1:30 p.m. ET.
