PENROSE, New Zealand – An incredible year for recent Harvard graduate Maia Ramsden will continue in Paris later this summer, as Athletics New Zealand added the three-time NCAA national champion to its 2024 Paris Olympics roster.

Ramsden also enjoyed success at several high-profile meets against professional competitors. At the 116^th Millrose Games, Ramsden posted a time of 4:24.83 in the Wannamaker Mile, breaking her own Ivy League record for a top-10 finish. Making her New Zealand debut at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, Ramsden advanced to the 1500m final with a record-breaking performance, toppling the national record in the event with a time of 4:06.51.
