Luke Laubacher will be in action at the NCAA Track and Field Outdoor Championships on Wednesday in the 110m hurdles at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

The 110m hurdles will go off at 8:32 p.m. Eastern time/5:32 p.m. Pacific time. The race will be televised on ESPN2 and ESPN+. Laubacher runs in heat three and is in lane nine. The top three finishers from the three heats and the top three times will advance to the finals which are on Friday.

Laubacher, a three-time Horizon League champion in the event, qualified by placing 12th at the NCAA East Prelims last month in Lexington, Ky, with a time of 13.71 seconds.

It marks the eighth straight year that YSU will have an athlete at the NCAA meet. On the women's side, Esther Solarin will compete on Saturday in the triple jump.

Laubacher joins Chad Zallow as Guins who run in the 110m hurdles. He is third YSU athlete to compete in a hurdles event at the NCAAs joining Colin Harden and Zallow.
