Stanziano is not new to competing in the quarterfinals as she qualified two years ago. She is looking to make the next step in to compete at the championship final in Eugene, Oregon.
 
Dreher advances her position from being the 45th seed to now the 38th in the 1500 meter as she ends her SMC career. 
 
After today's race, Head Coach Marty Kinsey said, "So proud of these two women. They've been such an integral part of our program's success over the years and getting the culture to where it currently is. Molly was able to finish higher up in the rankings then she was seeded and Rayna's qualifying for her second time to the quarterfinals. Great day to be a Gael!"
