Freyhof Set for NCAA Championships

Earning her second career national championship appearance, Freyhof is the only Husker on the women’s side to qualify for the NCAA Championships since Lara Crofford in 2010. Freyhof placed 10th at the NCAA Midwest Regional with a time of 20:56.07 on the 6K course, garnering All-Region honors for the third straight time after back-to-back 11th-place finishes in 2018 and 2019.

The Hamilton, Mich., native earned All-Big Ten honors for the second season in a row after being named All-Big Ten Second Team with a 13th-place finish at the Big Ten Championships this season. Freyhof had a season-best finish of runner-up in the 5K at the Greeno/Dirksen Invite and posted back-to-back third-place performances in the 6K at the Chile Pepper Festival and Bradley Pink Classic this season.
