University of Illinois Springfield track runner Noah McIntyre competed at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field National Championship meet on Thursday. McIntyre finished 23rd in his 1,500m run.
 
McIntyre finished with a time of 4:00.31. He opened the race strong, running in second for the first lap and being in the top-five midway through the race. He fell back though in the third lap and couldn't catch up in the final 400m.
 
McIntyre is the second UIS men's runner in program history to earn a starting spot at the national outdoor event. He won the GLVC Championship this year in the 1,500m, and set a school and conference record at that meet with a time of 3:45.46.
