Ruth White sets personal best in 10,000 meters at East Regionals, qualifies for national meet

In the opening round of the NCAA East Regional Track and Field meet on Thursday in Jacksonville, former Orono High School standout and UNH freshman Ruth White set a personal best in the 10,000 meter run with a time of 32:50.17. That was only five seconds off a top three finish. The sixth place position qualifies White for the national meet in June in Eugene, Oregon
