AUSTIN, Texas—For the first time since 2018, the University of Hawai'i track and field team will have a competitor at the NCAA championships as sophomore Lilian Turban will wrap up an impressive campaign at Mike A Myers Stadium and Soccer Field on Saturday in the women's high jump event.
 
Turban's rise for the Rainbow Wahine has been steady as she made her mark a year ago as placing second in the Big West Championships and made her first career NCAA appearance finishing 22^nd overall. Her sophomore season has been one for the record books as she captured the MPSF indoor high jump championship and the Big West outdoor high jump championship, reaching a career-high 1.85m (6' ¾) in the process. Turban also had an impressive stretch where she won seven consecutive events. Her streak was broken in the NCAA Championships First Round, where she matched her career-high jump, placing third.
 
While the championships began on June 6^th in Austin, Texas, Turban's event is scheduled to be one of the final events as she is scheduled to compete on June 10^th at approximately 2:30 p.m. HT.
