BIRMINGHAM, ALA. –The Providence College senior Millie Paladino (Morgantown, W. VA.) raced in the final of the women's mile at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on Mar. 9. The senior finished third overall with a time of 4:38.44 to earn First Team All-America Honors.
Paladino ran a tactically smart race, positioning herself in the middle of the pack from the start. The entire field remained tightly bunched until the final 400 meters. With one lap to go Paladino sat in seventh place waiting for her chance to make a move. Over the last 100 meters Paladino would use her strong closing speed to come through the field to finish third. Third is the highest Paladino has ever finished at an NCAA meet.
Paladino is the highest place finisher for Providence at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships since 2015 when Emily Sisson '14 won the 5,000 meters. Paladino is also the highest mile finisher for the Friars at the NCAA Championships since 1994 when Amy Rudolph '94 took first in this event.
