The impressive career of University of Minnesota Duluth senior mid distance runner Savannah Schley came to a close Friday night in Pueblo, Colo. in the NCAA DIvision II Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
The Loyal, Wis. native finished 21st overall in the 800 meter prelims with a time of 2:14.17 and ran her first 400 meters in a time of 1:00.38.
