Ohio State track and field star Adelaide Aquilla has qualified to represent Team USA in the upcoming World Championships.
The 2022 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships were taking place in Eugene, Oregon this week, and Aquilla threw over 14 meters twice, with her 19.45m throw being good enough for second place.
With the result, Aquilla has punched her ticket to the World Championships, also set to take place in Eugene, Oregon from July 15 through the 24.
For Aquilla, it’s the next step on a journey she hopes leads to another Olympic Summer Games appearance when the world descends on Paris in 2024.
That's a wrap on the 2022 USA Championships!! Adelaide Aquilla qualified to compete at the WORLD championships in the shot put!
