JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Loyola University Maryland's
Senna Ohlsson wrapped up her Greyhounds career the same way that she has run throughout it, in record-setting fashion.
On Thursday, the senior became the first Loyola student-athlete to advance to a quarterfinal in an event at the NCAA East Preliminary Championships, and she ran the best time of her career Saturday in that race. Ohlsson took more than a second off her previous school record, running 2:04.22 to finish 13
th in the region and just missing the final qualifying spot for the NCAA Semifinals.
Ohlsson, who graduated from Loyola last week and will continue her education at Yale University where she plans to be a graduate assistant coach for the track and field program, now has the six fastest times in school history, the top three coming in the last two weeks.
Her time of 2:04.22 is also the fastest by a Patriot League runner in conference history.
She leaves Loyola as a four-time Patriot League Champion – indoor 800 meters in 2018 and 2019, outdoors in 2019 and 2021 – and school-record holder in five individual events and as part of five school-record relays.
