COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Drake University sophomores Isaac Basten and Adam Fogg advanced to the 2021 NCAA National Championships in the 1500 meters after finishing second and fifth Saturday in their heats in 3:40.09 and 3:40.61, respectively, at the NCAA West Region Preliminary Round. Basten finished ninth overall and Fogg was 12^th. The duo punched their tickets to Eugene, Ore. June 6-9 a day later than originally hoped after Friday's session in College Station was postponed due to inclement weather in the area.
 
Sophomore Busiwa Asinga also competed Saturday in the women's 400-meter hurdles final. Asinga finished 19^th overall and seventh in her heat with a time of 59.55. She missed advancing to Eugene as 12^th overall finished 58.20.
 
Basten and Fogg will join their teammate, thrower Adam Kessler, who already punched his ticket for the NCAA Championships with a sixth-place finish in the shot-put Wednesday afternoon.
