Along with the 12 individual events, the Nittany Lion men qualified in the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relays.
The Nittany Lion women will be represented by 21 student-athletes in 15 events. On the women's side, Danae Rivers (800-meters) and Tori Gerlach (3,000-meter steeplechase) hold top-five marks in their respective events heading into the NCAA East Preliminaries.
Along with the 15 individual events, the Nittany Lion women qualified in the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relays.
Four Nittany Lions have qualified in multiple events, as Malik Moffett qualified for both the 200-meters and long jump, David Lucas will compete in the discus, shot put and hammer throw while Obeng Marfo is slated to compete in the shot put and discus throw.
Madeline Holmberg will participate at the 2017 NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore. June 7-10 after finishing in the top-24 of the event.
