BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Nazareth graduate student Emily Thompson placed 15th in the 5,000-meter run Friday night at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships held at Birmingham Crossplex.

Thompson, who came into the race seeded 14th, clocked a 17:34.25 to finish 15th out of 17 competitors.  Brittany Bowman of Tufts University was the national champion in a time of 16:31.32, followed by Taryn Cordani of Ithaca College (16:36.83).

Thompson's time was a bit slower than her qualifying time of 17:07.61, which she churned out at the Boston Invitational back in February to break the school record. 

Nazareth's Alycia Eaton will compete on Saturday in the triple jump, beginning at 2 p.m.
