Mike Kirkland, head women's track coach said, "I think that we've got several who have already established themselves for the national meet. Sarah Morton is an automatic qualifier already. She is currently ranked ninth in the country. We've got two relays that have hit provisional marks. They are 16th in the country. Our two mile relay is thirteenth in the country. We have several others who are very close to either a provision or an automatic qualifier." The team is progressing every week with only one indoor meet to go, and the national championship coming up the track team has a lot to prepare for these next two weeks.

"Cody Annis ran the fastest open 400 M for our program in several years, qualifying for nationals by meeting the "B" standard. He also had another personal best in the mile relay," said Helmer. The two mile relay had an automatic national qualifying standard by over three seconds. All of the four runners had personal best times. Aric Cherry, anchoring the two mile relay with 1:56:32, then coming back to win the 800 M with a 1:58:52. "Andrew Topham a freshman continues to improve this season by winning the 5,000 M with a "B" national qualifying time," said Helmer.
