GENEVA, OHIO – Eliza Bruncaj is making one last trip to nationals.
 
The star senior for the TCNJ women's track and field team is headed to SPIRE Institute next week to compete in the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Bruncaj soared into 16^th on the Division III performance list with a season-best time of 1:01.94 at the AARTFC Championships, extending her career and putting her back on the biggest stage for one last hurrah.
 
Bruncaj's decorated career has included now six appearances at an NCAA championship meet. She has been a three-time relay qualifier, and has also twice competed in the indoor pentathlon. This marks her second career ticket to run in the 400 hurdles championship and a call-back to the best performance of her TCNJ tenure when she placed fourth in the event at the 2023 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Bruncaj is a 4-time NCAA All-American.
 
Bruncaj will compete in the 400 hurdles prelims at 6:25 p.m. on Thursday.
