JACKSONVILLE, FL – Wright State senior Cierra Lively concluded her Raider career on Saturday in the 2025 NCAA East Prelims in Jacksonville, Florida in the women's high jump, finishing XX.
 
Lively, who was one of 48 women's high jump athletes to qualify for the East Prelims, advanced past her first two heights, clearing 1.69m and 1.74m, both on her second attempts, to join the grouping that advanced to the 1.79m height. At 1.79m, Lively missed on her three attempts to end her Raider career.
 
With the addition of Saturday's 1.74m clearance, Lively cleared 1.7m or higher 15 times since the start of the 2024 outdoor season, while she reset her personal best mark multiple times throughout the 2024-25 indoor and outdoor seasons. Lively finishes with a collegiate-best mark of 1.80m (5 ft 10.75 inch), set in April at the Otterbein Twilight.
 
The 2024 Horizon League outdoor champion and the 2025 HL indoor champion in the women's high jump, Lively finished third at this spring's HL championships.
