FAIRFAX, VA- Junior All-American Jennifer Harlow (East Bridgewater, MA/East Bridgewater) reached automatic qualification for the NCAA Division III Championship with a high jump leap of 5' 7 1/4", tied for the best in Division III this season, as the Wheaton College men's and women's indoor track and field teams competed at the Collegiate Open at George Mason University on Saturday.
