For each men's individual contest, the top 20 declared student-athletes were accepted into the competition.
Moreland earned his seed time by virtue of a personal-best time at the Swarthmore Final Qualifier on Monday evening in Chester. Moreland, the 10th seed in the NCAA championships, was the top Division III finisher in that event with a blazing fast time of 3:47.10. The mark was the 12th-best time in the nation this season. Additionally, the mark represents the 10th-fastest 1,500-meter time in Haverford program history.
Moreland's trip to nationals will represent another chapter in an illustrious middle-distance history at Haverford. Moreland is Haverford's 42nd qualifier in the 1,500 meters. Haverford has had 28 All-Americans in the event and four national champions. The last Haverford runner to reach the top of the podium in the event was Karl Paranya in 1997, while more recently Greg Morgan was an All-American in 2018 and Charlie Marquardt posted two consecutive All-America finishes in 2015 and 2016.
