Dylan Kalinay — 100m, 110h
The senior from Toledo, Iowa is enjoying a banner season, qualifying in both the 100-meter dash and the 110-meter hurdles. An All-American in the 110 hurdles as a sophomore in 2016, Kalinay is looking to get back into the mix after a 10th-place finish in an injury-riddled junior campaign. He comes in with the sixth-fastest qualifying time in the 110 hurdles (14.30) and finished third in the 60-meter hurdles indoors. He ran the second-fastest 100-meter dash time in school history at the Augustana Twilight last Thursday, crossing the line in 10.62 for the 14th-fastest qualifying time.

Jordan Coughenour — 400h
The junior from Maxwell, Iowa is a returning All-American in the 400 hurdles after taking seventh in 2017. He secured his place at the national meet by running a lifetime-best 52.42 in the prelims at the Iowa Conference Championship, the seventh-fastest qualifying time in the nation. Coughenour went on to win his third-straight conference championship and is looking for the third All-America certificate of his career. He also All-America honors in the indoor 4x400 in 2017.
