WALTHAM, Mass. – Recent Brandeis University graduate Erin Magill of Moretown, Vermont, will be making her third career NCAA Championship appearance later this week when she participates in the 5,000-meter run at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the SPIRE Institute in Cleveland, Ohio.

Magill has earned All-America honors in her two previous trips to the NCAA Championships. At the 2021 Division III Cross Country meet, she placed 36th overall, helping the Judges to a 20th-place finish. During the 2022 Indoor Track and Field championships, she placed sixth in the 5K with a time of 16:54.62, then a career-best and the second-fastest time in school history. Magill won University Athletic Association championships in the 5,000-meters both indoors and outdoors.

Magill's fastest time this outdoor season was run at the NEICAAA Championships on May 13th, when she won the title with a time of 16:52.26. Magill will be seeded 15th at the NCAA Championships with that time, third among New England competitors and second among UAA runners. Magill was seeded 10th at the indoor meet when she earned her second All-America honor.

The women's 5,000-meter championship race will be the final individual race of the meet. It will be held on Saturday, May 28th at 3 p.m.

Magill is a 2018 graduate of Harwood Union High School.
