CEDARVILLE, Ohio - Two-time NCAA Division II 800 meter champion Carsyn Koch has declared entry in the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials scheduled for July 1-10 in Eugene, Ore.

Koch met the Trials qualifying mark with a 2:02.39 effort on May 1 in the Payton Jordan Invitational at Stanford University (Calif.). It's the fastest outdoor women's 800 time in NCAA Division II history.

She was the DII Indoor champion with a winning performance of 2:05.12 in March.
Koch isn't the first Lady Jacket to compete in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
That distinction belongs to 1986 graduate Jane (Romig) Brooker, who participated three times - 1988 in Indianapolis (800/1500); 1992 in New Orleans (800/1500); and 1996 in Atlanta (800).
