ROXBURY, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University senior Jayci Andrews (Plymouth, Mass.) qualified for the finals of the 60-meter hurdles on Friday afternoon at the 2019 NCAA Division III Women's Indoor Track & Field Championships held at the Reggie Lewis Center.

Andrews won her heat and tied for the fifth best time n the preliminaries of the 60-meter hurdles with a school-record mark of 8.70 seconds. The top eight hurdlers (three heat winners plus next five best times) advanced to Saturday's final which is slated to get underway at approximately 1:45 PM (EST).

Andrews, who is making her third trip to the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships, eclipsed her previous BSU indoor mark of 8.74 seconds set at the 2019 Division III New England Championships on February 23rd.
