Martha Bissah fails to reach finals of NCAA Regional Championships

Bissah's a time of 2m:08.82 was not enough to help her qualify to the finals of the The University of Kentucky’s track and field event.

Sprinter Martha Bissah failed to advance to the final of the NCAA Regional/Preliminary Round Championships.

She clocked a time of 2m:08.82 in women's 800m heats at the The University of Kentucky’s track and field event.

The East Preliminary Championships are essentially the first qualifying rounds for the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore., on June 7-10. Similarly, there is the West Preliminary Championships being held in Austin, Texas this weekend.

Each regional preliminary will send the top 12 athletes from each event to the NCAA Championships. However, in the decathlon and the heptathlon, the top 24 declared athletes have already received their entry into the NCAA Championships.
