Rodencal, a senior, from Lincoln, Nebraska, competed in five separate events at the Drake Relays and again hit the NAIA A standard in the 100 hurdles and 400 hurdles. She placed top six in both events, which featured NCAA Division I competition. Rodencal also helped the team's 4x400 relay to a season best time of 3:49.19 (B standard). Rodencal did not hit PRs in the hurdles, but clocked times that would rank in the top four nationally (No. 1 in the 100 hurdles).
