The track team will prepare for the K.T. Woodman Classic. The meet will be April 12 and is hosted by Wichita State. Last weekend the track team traveled to Friends University in Wichita. The Friends meet gave several members the opportunity to qualify for provisionals. Jim Helmer, head men's track coach, said, "This was a tough day weather-wise, with the strong winds making it difficult to get quality performances in a lot of events." The men's 4x1 placed first with a time of 42.18. Charles Wells, sports management junior, placed first in the 100 meter dash with a time of 10.64 followed by Davion Mitchell, English senior, 10.77, placing Wells as a national qualifier and Mitchell as a provisional qualifier. Wells said, "It is an extreme honor to qualify for outdoor track and also the chance to represent Southwestern most of all. At the beginning of the year I made that my goal to qualify and so I pushed myself every day. I expect great results for the Wichita State meet. Our sprinters went one, two, and three in the 100 meter at Friends and we're ready to do the same at WSU. It's also time to settle the score with WSU in the 4x100. No more NASCAR time." The men's 4x800 placed first, and they continue to progress for the outdoor season. Jimmy Brya\nt, business education sophomore, is a member of the 4x800 relay. He said, "We are working really hard to qualify our 4x800 for outdoor nationals after our successful race at indoor nationals. We are doing plenty of speed work plus exercises to increase our stamina. I just hope we all run fast on the same day." Mike Kirkland, head women's track coach, said, "Overall despite the windy conditions all and all we had a good meet. We are still trying to find where we are at. It is a work in progress. As the season progresses the competition gets heavier." The women's 4x100 meter relay placed second with a provisional time of 49.25. "When the weather is better we should be able to achieve our goal," said Kirkland. The 4x800 meter relay was only three seconds from the provisional qualifying mark. Paige Carswell, communication freshman, had a season best in the triple jump with a jump of 35-6 ½. Korie Hawkins is a freshman majoring in journalism. You may e-mail her at korie.hawkins@sckans.edu.
