She is currently ranked ninth in the nation in the 400-meter dash with a season-best time of 53.22. Kidd also is ranked 14th in the 200-meter dash with a best time of 23.44.
Last weekend, Kidd ran away from the field earning Atlantic Coast Conference Indoor titles in both the 200 and 400. Kidd also set the Clemson Indoor Facility track record in the 200.
Ashlee Kidd will be on the blocks beginning at 1:35 p.m. for the 400 followed by the 200 at 2:05 p.m.
Results from the Iowa State NCAA Qualifier meet will be posted at the end of the day on the official Georgia Tech website (www.ramblinwreck.com).
