FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS – The University of Hawai’i track and field team arrived at the end of the 2022 season rainbow on Saturday afternoon at the NCAA West Prelims.
After completing the day, both athletes in their NCAA debut improved in position from where they were seeded. Freshman jumper Lilian Turban placed 22nd in the high jump as she cleared 5′ 9 1/4″ on her last attempt. She improved two spots from her initial seeding to end her season.
Her season was highlighted by multiple events wins, and a stellar showing at the Big West Championships. She held the top mark in the NCAA for two weeks and culminated her debut season with two Big West Track Athlete of the Week Awards, along with an All-Conference Team appearance.
