DES MOINES, Iowa – Nicole Peters advanced to the finals of the 3,000-meter steeplechase Wednesday, after finishing the semifinal round of the NCAA championships in 10 minutes, 12.16 seconds at Drake Stadium.

The senior from Houston, Texas, finished 13^th overall and sixth in her heat. The time is a new personal best. Peters will compete Friday in the finals of the event at 5:30 p.m. MST.

“Nicole ran great tonight,” said distance coach Bryan Berryhill. “She had a great race. Now she gets the chance to run and be an all-American Friday. She has had a great year and just did what she’s been doing all year; went out there with a good attitude and consistent effort. She had a great last two laps, which she usually does. It was a great effort on her part.” 

CSU’s other competitor at the championships, Trevor Brown, will compete in the semifinal round of the 110-meter hurdles Thursday at 5:50 p.m. MST. Live results can be found at http://rtspt.com/ncaa/d1outdoor12/?DB_OEM_ID=15700
