The four runners finished in 3 minutes, 54.13 seconds — the Gold Nuggets' fastest time since Xavier revived its track and field program in 2010. Rolland, Jackson, Shannon and Hurt met the A-qualifying standard for the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Marion, Ind., in May.
Xavier placed sixth out of 13 entries and finished ahead of five NCAA Division I teams.
Jackson also met the A-qualifying standard in the 800-meter run. She finished fifth out of 31 entries in a career-best 2:12.01. LSU's Laura Carleton won in 2:11.08.
Rolland met the NAIA's B-standard in the 100 for the second time this season, finishing eighth out of 50 sprinters in 12.17. Rolland also met the B-standard with a long jump of 5.55 meters (18 feet, 2½ inches) and placed 11th out of 34 entries. She met the A-standard in the long jump three previous times this season.
Chelsea James, Shannon, Hurt and Rolland finished third out of six teams in the 800-meter relay in a season-best 1:41.28. Catherine Fakler ran a season-best 2:22.01 in the 800 and placed 13th. Shannon ran a season-best 1:00.43 in the 400 and placed 28th out of 42 entries.
The Rush and Nuggets will not compete next week during Xavier's spring break. They'll resume competition April 5 in the Mississippi College Twilight Invitational at Clinton, Miss.
