HAVERFORD, Pa. - Haverford senior Kayla Robinson will make her NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship debut next week, as accepted entries for next weekend's NCAA Division III Championships were announced on Friday evening. 

The event will be held at the Polisseni Track & Field Complex in Rochester, N.Y. and will be hosted by St. John Fisher University.

The triple jump is then slated for Saturday, May 27, with the jumping pit opening for the women's triple jump at approximately 10 a.m. Robinson is Haverford's 33rd NCAA individual qualifier and will represent Haverford in both the long jump and triple jump, becoming the first Haverford women's track & field athlete ever to represent the Fords in those events at a national championship.

For each women's individual contest, the top 22 declared student-athletes were accepted into the competition. The Bristol, Conn. product will enter as the 16th seed in the long jump and the 19th seed in the triple jump.
