SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sarah Medved closed out her standout Viking career Friday while finishing 42nd in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NCAA West Prelims at Hornet Stadium. Medved finished in 10:31.76, her second-best time in the steeplechase this season.
 
Medved was making her second straight appearance at the NCAA West Prelims in the season, a year after she became the Vikings' first-ever qualifier in the event. Medved also repeated as Big Sky champion in the steeplechase this season, a year after winning the Vikings' first Big Sky title in the men's or women's steeplechase.
 
Medved broke the school record in the steeplechase twice last season, and set the current school record with a time of 10:21.56 at the 2018 Mt. SAC Relays. Medved finished just off her record time at this year's Mt. SAC Relays, qualifying for the NCAA West Prelims with a time of 10:23.36 – the 36th-best time in the NCAA west region this season.
 
Thursday's race for Medved closed the collegiate track & field season for the Vikings. The Vikings will send a couple of athletes to the USATF U20 Outdoor Championships, which begins June 21 in Miramar, Fla.
