JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jessica Lambert of the Florida Atlantic University track & field team concluded her historic season in the 2023 NCAA Outdoor Championships First Round on Thursday evening, running in the 800m.

In a crowded field of 48 runners in the East region, Lambert finished in the top half, 24th place.

Her time of 2:06.72 was good for second best in FAU history. The Croydon, England native now owns the top four 800m times in school history.

Though she did not qualify for the second round, her time was better than three runners who automatically qualified due to winning their heat.

This also concludes an exciting year for Florida Atlantic as they look towards a bright future with not only a new conference, but facility upgrades as well. The Owls will begin competing in the American Athletic Conference during the cross country season in the fall of 2023.
