The top 16 fastest times/marks in the nation are invited to compete in the NCAA Indoor Championships and redshirt junior and recent ACC Champion Anna Bush enters this weekend's women's pentathlon ranked sixth in the country with her career-best mark, 4,121 points.
Wake Forest's other two competitors are in the running events led by sophomore Aleeya Hutchins in the 800-meter run.
