Senior Laura Hermanson is hoping to make her final college race a memorable one. The Bison standout will be shooting for a national championship in the 800-meter run at the NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships.
Hermanson had the third-fastest time in qualifying at 2:03.19. Her race is scheduled to begin at 12:19 p.m. and will be shown live on CBS.
Good luck to Laura! You are an amazing athlete and look forward watching you in the 800m final.
May be the best all time trackster at NDSU, unless Roesler comes to NDSU.
Considering she is from Burnsville, the Gophers were simply stupid to not sign her up and they have a good track program too.
The Gophers weren’t stupid. NDSU was smart.
They drop live coverage of the women’s 800 to run a piece on some Arkansas coach.
NDSU still got good coverage as Laura’s “NDSU” uniform was clearly visiable coming down the home stretch. Too bad she couldn’t pull it out but 2nd at the national championships is still amazing.
great job. you worked very hard. discilpline
Congratulations Laura. You’re tremendous. Thank you for all of your hard work, discipline, and grit. Thank you for being a Bison. You have reflected great credit on NDSU and on Bison women’s track. You’re also at the head of a long list of other Bison women who have also made NDSU fans proud. You can also take your place among the very top of ALL NDSU athletes who have achieved much and made people throughout the nation see North Dakota and NDSU in a positive light. Congratulations on the top achievement in NDSU Division One athletics to date.
You’re a champion in my book.
Thank you again. We’re all proud of you.
