Fox and Smith
surpass own school records.
May 31, 2003
Lincoln, Neb. (May 31, 2003)-- Four
University of Wyoming track and field
athletes qualified for the NCAA Championships with their performances
Saturday at the 2003 NCAA Midwest Regional in Lincoln, Neb. Cowgirls
Jessica
Fox and Shauna Smith along with Cowboys John Griffith and Quincy Howe
placed
in the top five in their respective events to earn a trip to the 2003
NCAA
Championships in Sacramento, Calif., June 11-14.
Jessica Fox finished third in the finals
of the 400 meter dash breaking her
two-week old record with a time of 51.93 to qualify for the NCAA
Championships. The sophomore from Burns, Wyo. has now surpassed her own
400
meter record three times this season.
Sophomore Shauna Smith earned a trip to
Sacramento by placing fourth in the
400 meter hurdles. Smith crossed the finish line in 57.54 breaking her
own
record she set yesterday. She also placed eighth in the finals of the
100
meter hurdles with a time of 13.91.
Cowboy Quincy Howe earned his third trip
to the NCAA Outdoor Track and
Field Championships with his third place finish in the triple jump with
a
distance of 52' 5". Howe will now try for All-American honors for the
third
time in his collegiate career.
John Griffith, a native of Sheridan, Wyo.,
qualified for the NCAA
Championships by throwing a personal best distance of 195' 4" in the
hammer
throw yesterday. Griffith's fifth place finish was one of the best
underdog
performances of the meet.
"We were confident that at least four of
our athletes could earn a trip to
the championships," said UW head track and field coach Don Yentes. "I
am
very proud of our efforts at our first regional. We had three school
records
and many personal records broken this weekend. I think our program is
going
to be represented very well at the NCAA Championships."
Fox, Smith, Howe and Griffith will compete
next at the NCAA Outdoor Track
and Field Championships June 11-14 in Sacramento, Calif.
