<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">PROVIDENCE, R.I. – </b>The Providence College junior Millie Paladino (Morgantown, W. Va.) is set to compete at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in College Station, Texas on March 9-10.
<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Paladino will be racing in the preliminary heats of the mile on Friday, March 9 at 6:35 p.m. ET. Paladino must place top four in her heat or have one of the two of the fastest non-automatic times to advance to final, which
will be held on Saturday, March 5 at 5:20 p.m. ET. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
This will be the second year in a row that Paladino has qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships. She earned first team All-America honors after finishing seventh overall. This season has been another standout for Paladino as she has run the second fastest
