DUNN, HALF-MILERS SHINE FOR STANFORD AT NCAA PRELIMS

May 23, 2013



Eight Cardinal stay alive after first day of competition



AUSTIN, Texas – Senior long jumper Karynn Dunn became the first Stanford track and field athlete to advance to the NCAA Championships on Thursday’s opening day of the three-day NCAA West Preliminary Round.



Dunn had a season-best 20-7¼ on her only fair jump to qualify seventh and advance to the NCAA meet on June 5-8 in Eugene, Ore. The top 12 in each event at each of the East (in Greensboro, N.C.) and West Prelims advance to the NCAA’s. This will be the second outdoor national meet for Dunn, who placed fourth last year to earn first-team All-America honors.



In all, eight of the 17 Stanford athletes competing – five women and three men -- stayed alive by advancing to the next round of the Prelims.



A Stanford highlight came in the women’s 800 meters where three Cardinal advanced out of the first round, with two – senior Justine Fedronic and freshman Amy Weissenbach – winning their heats. Claudia Saunders also advanced on place, with a third-place in another of the six heats.



Fedronic looked smooth as she moved into the lead with 75 meters left in her race, running 2:06.92 for the best overall time among the 24 quarterfinal qualifiers. Weissenbach moved out of a tight pack with 200 remaining to take command of Heat 6 in 2:06.37 for the third-fastest qualifying mark. Saunders, a true freshman who specialized in the hurdles in high school, ran 2:08.95 as the 18th qualifier. The next and final round takes place Friday at 5 p.m. PT.



Kori Carter, the collegiate and American leader in the 400 hurdles, easily won her heat to advance to Friday’s final round, at 5:30 p.m. PT. Carter, whose best of 54.21 is No. 3 in the world this year, ran 58.27.



Two of the four Stanford men in the 1,500 heats advanced to Saturday’s final round. Tyler Stutzman (3:47.42) and Michael Atchoo (3:49.06) advanced, while freshman Justin Brinkley (3:49.92) and Marco Bertolotti (3:51.39) fell short.



Stanford freshman Steven Solomon, a 2012 Olympic finalist from Australia, finished second in Heat 4 of the 400, running 46.75 to advance to Friday’s final round (4:15 p.m.).



Among Stanfored’s non-qualifiers, senior Geoffrey Tabor failed to advance in his speciality, the discus. Tabor’s best of 175-11 was the 20th-best mark and failed to get him into the 16-thrower finals.



Like Tabor, senior high jumper Jules Sharpe has won All-America honors, but also failed to advance. Sharpe completed his Stanford career with a jump of 6-11½ to place 17th.



The meet continues Friday at 10 a.m. PT with Stanford sophomore Rebecca Hammar in the women’s discus. Tabor will have a final shot at the NCAA Championships when he competes in the shot put at 4 p.m. PT.

Carter’s Emergence
Stanford junior Kori Carter has established herself as the nation’s breakout star of the 2013 collegiate track and field season. She charged onto the national scene on April 6 by running a world-leading 400-meter hurdles time of 54.71 by beating 2012 Olympic fifth-place finisher Georganne Moline of Arizona on Moline’s home track in Tucson, Ariz. It was a personal record by 2.39 seconds.

After that mark was eclipsed, Carter regained the world lead on May 12 with a stunning 54.21 – the second-fastest in-season time in collegiate history – to win the Pac-12 title over Moline while breaking meet, stadium, and school records at USC. On the same day, she repeated as the Pac-12 100-meter hurdles champ with a time of 12.76, another school record.

Going into the regionals, Carter’s 54.21 stands at No. 1 among Americans and collegians and No. 3 in the world. The Czech Republic’s Zuzana Hejnova now holds the world lead at 53.79, followed by Romania’s Angela Morosanu at 53.85. In the 100 hurdles, Carter now is No. 8 in the world, No. 7 among Americans, and No. 3 among collegians.

Carter, who has achieved World Championship ‘A’ standards in both events, is undefeated outdoors in the hurdles this season, at both distances. She also owns a season-best 4x400 relay split of 51.9, which is comparable to the 400 school record of 52.35.

Featured Athletes
Women
Brianna Bain: The sophomore and 2012 first-team All-American already is a two-time Pac-12 champion in the javelin, having won her second consecutive title May 11 with a throw of 176-8 at the conference championships at USC. Bain, the NCAA runner-up as a freshman, is the No. 1 collegian and No. 2 American this year with a school-record 183-10 to win the Big Meet on April 20. Bain is undefeated this season.

Karynn Dunn: The two-time first-team All-American in the long jump is beginning to round into form after a slow start to the season. The senior jumped a season-best 20-3 3/4 to place fouth at Pac-12’s. Dunn is the 2010 U.S. junior national champion and placed fifth in the NCAA outdoors and fourth indoors in 2012.

Justine Fedronic: The senior was the Pac-12 runner-up in the 800 and heads into the NCAA Regionals with the No. 8 collegiate time in the 800, an event in which she holds the school record of 2:03.54. Fedronic has two All-America honors, but is seeking her first first-team honor.

Amy Weissenbach: The freshman from Los Angeles set the National High School Federation record (against high school-only competition) in the 800 of 2:02.04 in 2011 and now holds the Stanford indoor record in the event, of 2:05.56. On April 28, she won the 800 at the Payton Jordan Invitational in 2:04.24 to break the school freshman record set by eventual three-time Olympian Regina Jacobs in 1982 (2:04.38). Weissenbach achieved a U.S. Championships `A’ standard in the race and jumped to No. 2 on Stanford’s all-time outdoor list. The two-time 2013 indoor second-team All-American was sixth in the 1,500 at Pac-12’s.

Men
Michael Atchoo: The three-time first-team indoor All-American broke the Stanford indoor mile record with a 3:57.14 to win the MPSF championship in Seattle. The time was the fastest by a Stanford runner in 27 years, indoors or outdoors, behind only Olympian Jeff Atkinson’s outdoor 3:55.16 in 1986. Atchoo is the No. 7 American and No. 3 collegian this year after his 3:39.57 in the 1,500 meters at the Payton Jordan Invitational on his home track on April 28. He was eighth at the Pac-12 meet. He is seeking his first outdoor All-America honor.

Steven Solomon: The freshman from Sydney, Australia, reached the 2012 Olympic final in the 400 when he posted a personal record 44.97 in the semifinals. Solomon placed eighth in London and has secured a berth in the World Championships in Moscow, Russia, in August. He has competed twice this season, winning the 400 in 46.91 at the Big Meet against California in his collegiate debut on April 20 and anchoring the winning 4x400 relay. At the Pac-12 Championships, he was third in a Stanford freshman record 46.12.

Tyler Stutzman: Earned first-team All-America honors by placing fourth in the mile at the 2013 NCAA indoor championships, and ran three sub-four-minute miles during the indoor season. The senior ran a season-best 3:40.43 at the Payton Jordan Invitational and is No. 8 among collegians and the No. 17 American this year. He is a two-time first-team indoor All-American and seeking his first outdoor honor.

Geoffrey Tabor: Tabor has been a consistently outstanding performer. He ranks No. 8 in the discus and No. 6 in the shot put all-time outdoors at Stanford, and No. 3 in the shot put indoors. However, the senior is seeking his first first-team All-America honor, with his best chance coming in the discus.

NCAA Berths on Line for Bears at West Regionals

NCAA Berths on Line for Bears at West Regionals More Than 30 Qualifiers Will Give Cal Strong Representation

Alima Kamara will compete in the women's 400 meters.

May 21, 2013





Complete News Release

THIS WEEK IN CAL TRACK & FIELD: More than 30 Golden Bears will travel to Austin, Texas, this week for the NCAA West Preliminary meet with the goal to qualify for the NCAA Championships June 5-8.

Cal will be competing in 34 individual events plus two relays during the three-day meet Thursday through Sunday. The top 12 out of each event will advance to the national meet to be held two weeks later in Eugene, Ore.

Seven members of the squad enter the meet ranked among the top 10 in the West. Leading the contingent is junior Hammed Suleman, who is No. 1 in the long jump and No. 2 in the triple jump. Suleman captured the Pac-12 title in the long jump with a PR 25-11.50, while his top mark in the triple jump - 53-4.50 - came in Austin during the Texas Relays in March.

Cal's other conference champion - Ray Stewart - comes in at No. 2 in the 110m hurdles after his PR 13.43 in the Pac-12 race. The only person ahead of him is Oregon's Johnathan Cabral, whom he beat in the Pac-12 meet final.

Others rated in the top 10 in their respective events are: Kelsey Santisteban (7th, women's 5000m), Malaina Payton (6th, women's long jump), Collin Jarvis (9th, men's 3000m steeplechase) and Nick Ridge (9th, men's high jump).

Two preliminary championships will be held May 23-25, with the West regional in Austin and the East regional in Greensboro, N.C., with the top 48 individuals and top 24 relays in each region earning invitations. The field will be narrowed to 12 from each region to advance to the NCAA Championships in June.

Three Bears who will be at regionals next week reached the NCAA meet in 2012 - Harrison Steed in the men's high jump, Chad Jones in the men's triple jump and Scott Esparza in the men's hammer. Steed posted the best result of the group, earning All-American honors for his eighth-place national finish.

PAC-12 TITLES FOR SULEMAN, STEWART: Cal returned home from the Pac-12 Championships in Los Angeles May 11-12 with a pair of conference champions in the travel party. Hammed Suleman soared to a PR 25-11.50 in the men's long jump to become Cal's first winner in the event since Chris Ferreira in 1996. In addition, Ray Stewart blazed to a lifetime-best 13.43 to capture his second men's 110m hurdles title (he also won in 2011 before knee surgery kept him off the track last year). The time keeps him No. 2 in school history in the event and moves him to No. 10 on the all-time Pac-12 list. With the two crowns, the Bears won multiple conference championships for the first time since taking three in 1996.

Cal also had several other notable performances at the Pac-12 meet. Suleman just missed on a second title when he finished as the runner-up in the men's triple jump, while Collin Jarvis, who won the men's 3000m steeplechase in 2012, claimed second place this year. Others to finish in the top 3 were Charnell Price in the women's 100m, Amanda Hunter in the women's triple jump and Malaina Payton in the women's long jump.

JUMPING BEARS: Cal's depth in the jumps this year can be found in the fact that the Bears will have 11 entrants in the high jump, long jump or triple jump at the NCAA preliminary meet. Cal has one each on the women's side, but the numbers really shoot up for the men with four high jumpers, three triple jumpers and a long jumper making their way to Austin. Three of Cal's men's high jumpers have cleared 7-0, including Nick Ridge, who went 7-3 indoors this year, and Harrison Steed, whose 7-2.50 last June gave him All-American honors at the NCAA Championships. All three of the Bears' triple jumpers have surpassed 51 feet. Malaina Payton is the top-ranked woman on the list, coming it at No. 3 all-time at Cal in the long jump with her best effort of 21-1.50 from the Big Meet earlier this season. Gianna Fernandez (T4th, 5-10.50, HJ) and Amanda Hunter (7th, 42-0.50, TJ) also rate among the school's top 10.

THROWS ALSO STRONG: While the numbers aren't quite as high as with the jumps, the Bears have more than their fair share of throwers competing in Austin with a combined eight in the shot put, discus and hammer. Two freshman records have been broken this year with Shelby Ashe raising the mark in the women's hammer to 201-10 and Ethan Cochran going 188-8 in the men's discus. During the indoor season earlier this year, Chioma Amaechi, who will be in the women's shot at the regional meet, set a school record in the weight throw with an effort of 67-2.

NEW HALL OF FAMER: Rick Brown, the only four-time 880-yard champion (1971-74) in Pac-8 history, has been elected to the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the rest of the class in October. As a sophomore in 1972, he set the school record in the 800 meters when he was timed in 1:45.4 in the finals of the Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. - a mark that still stands atop the record book a remarkable 41 years later.

GOLDEN BEAR NOTES: Matt Petersen (men's cross country), Jonathan Berry-Smith (men's track & field), Deborah Maier (women's cross country) and Nicole Larson (women's track & field) all received Golden Bear Achievement Awards for having the highest GPAs on their respective teams ... Ethan Cochran received the Newcomer of the Year Award as voted by his fellow student-athletes at the Oski's, Cal Athletics' version of the ESPY's ... 18 Golden Bears earned all-academic honors from the MPSF for the indoor season.

Championship Weekend Previews/News & Notes


May 22, 2013


NEW ORLEANS – Collegiate Track & Field Championships Season is set to get underway this weekend with the Division I East & West Preliminary Rounds, the Division II Championships and the Division III Championships. Listed below are links to previews and news & notes for all three divisions, with extensive previews for Division II and III.

Division I East & West Prelims
This weekend begins the three-week, three-location process that is the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, beginning at the East and West Preliminary Rounds in Greensboro, N.C., and Austin, Texas, respectively this Thursday through Saturday and culminating in the National Finals in Eugene, Ore, on June 5-8.

FULL STORY HERE



Division II Outdoor Championships
The air in Pueblo, Colo., may be thinner than many other places around the country, but the plotlines for the NCAA Division II Outdoor Championships to be held there Thursday through Saturday certainly run quite thick. Season-long rankings races will be settled, individual rivalries will be renewed, event crowns will be defended — or lost — and multiple former division champions will square off as the Division II track & field season comes to an exciting conclusion this weekend.

FULL STORY HERE (with event-by-event breakdown)



Division III Outdoor Championships
It has been an unseasonably cold spring up in La Crosse, Wis., but the weather has turned the corner just in time for the Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships at UW-La Crosse Thursday through Saturday. Temperatures in the 60s and 70s are projected throughout the meet and though Saturday’s finals might see some rain, it should not dampen what are shaping up to be excellent races for the team titles. Individual storylines also run thick, as well, with a number of former champions attempting to defend or reclaim their titles and a few all-time top-10 matchups.

Cain Named USA Track & Field Athlete of the Week



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDIANAPOLIS - Mary Cain (Bronxville, N.Y.) has been named USA Track & Field’s Athlete of the Week after setting the American junior and high school 1500m record at the USATF Oxy High Performance meet with her incredible time of 4:04.62 on May 18.

Cain finished second to Katie Mackey by only two-hundredths of a second as Mackey crossed the line in 4:04.60. The race saw six athletes dip under the previous meet and stadium record of 4:05.92 held by Shannon Rowbury. Cain and Mackey were joined by Nicole Sifuentes and Sarah Brown to dip under the World Championships A standard of 4:05.30.

Cain’s performance shattered Suzy Favor Hamilton’s previous American junior record of 4:09.10 by more than five seconds. Cain also bettered her own high school record of 4:10.77 from last month’s Drake Relays. Can has now broken nine records this year - six indoors, three outdoors.

“It is always exciting for me to break a record, even when it is my own,” Cain said. “It is especially sweet, since it [came] as a surprise to me. I run to compete and learn, so, as I am racing, I don't worry about the clock. It wasn't until I crossed the line that I realized the true meaning of all that had just happened.”

Cain was in seventh place going into the final lap of the race, and remained mid-pack through 200m to go. It wasn’t until the final 100m that Cain swung wide into lane three to unleash her kick and move to the front of the field.

“Although there are certain aspects of the race I need to improve on, such as not letting myself fade during lap three, and getting boxed in, I'm just thrilled I didn't let my poor position with 200 to go dishearten me,” Cain said. “It also was exciting, for that race was far from ideal that last 300m, but I was still able to run a really fast time. This race will definitely give me confidence in the future.”

Now in its 12th year, USATF’s Athlete of the Week program is designed to recognize outstanding performers at all levels of the sport. USATF names a new honoree each week and features the athlete on www.usatf.org. Selections are based on top performances and results from the previous week.

2013 Winners: January 9, Bobby Mack; January 16, Mary Cain; January 22, AjeĂ© Wilson; January 30, Duane Solomon; February 6, Chris Derrick; February 13, Jeremy Taiwo; February 20, Alysia Montaño; February 27, Galen Rupp; March 6, Jenn Suhr; March 13, Tia Brooks; March 20, Bridget Franek; March 27, Ben True; April 3, Darvis “Doc” Patton; April 10, Octavious Freeman; April 24, Erik Kynard; May 1, Queen Harrison; May 8, Tyson Gay; May 15, Jon Olsen; May 22, Mary Cain

Week in Review - May 13-19
from USATF Statistician Glen McMicken

CAIN NOT THE ONLY BIG BREAKTHROUGH AT OXY
Lost in the hubbub around Mary Cain's audacious AJR in the 1500m (see AOW above), event winner Katie Mackey also notched a solid PR and the Moscow “A” standard with her 4:04.60, more than two seconds faster than she ran at the meet last year. Colorado's Emma Coburn, best known as an Olympic steeplechaser, moved to No. 5 on the all-time collegiate list with a 4:06.87 PR in eighth.

U.S. steeplechase record-holder and 2011 World 1500m champ Jenny Simpson sprinted to a PR win in the 800m at 2:00.45, leading the top four women under 2:01. In the men's 800m, 2004 World Junior 400m hurdle silver medalist Brandon Johnson had an eye-opening PR win at 1:44.85, nearly a second and a half faster than his previous best.

Indoor mile champ Will Leer took over the U.S. lead in the 1500m with his 3:36.67 in the first heat, but 800m Olympian Nick Symmonds overtook that mark with his 3:36.07 in a later section.

Molly Huddle's AL 15:05.56 took the women's 5000, with Treniere Moser (15:11.00) and Brie Felnagle (15:14.33) grabbing PR's behind her. Dathan Ritzenhein went sub 13:20 in the men's 5K, taking second behind Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah of Great Britain in 13:17.38.

DOUBLE DELIGHT AT TUCSON THROWS
The Tucson Elite meets on May 16 and 18 produced three U.S.-leading marks and a big PR for a 2012 Olympian.

American record holder Jessica Cosby-Toruga had the top performance in the first meet with a 73.58m/241-5 hammer win that was the No. 4 all-time U.S. performance. Amanda Bingson, last year's revelation after making the Olympic squad, turned the tables in the second meet, besting her PR by almost three feet with a 72.95m/239-4 throw to become the No. 3 all-time U.S. performer.

A.G. Kruger opened his hammer series in the second competition with an AL 76.75m/251-9, and followed up with another big toss on his fourth effort to win at 77.10m/252-11.

2011 Pan Am Games fourth-placer and 2012 Olympian Gia Lewis-Smallwood flew to the top of the U.S. women's discus list with a 65.49m/214-10 that gave her the Moscow A standard and was the second best throw of her career.

In the men's javelin, 2005 Pan Am Junior silver medalist Corey White tied the U.S. lead with his 81.40m/267-1 toss.

BIG-TIME TRACK BACK IN THE ATL
For the first time since the 1996 Olympics, Atlanta had an infusion of pro track and field stars as the city hosted an Atlanta Grand Prix that saw Lolo Jones win the 100m hurdles in 12.74. Other top efforts came from Olympic sixth-placer T'erea Brown, who won the 400m hurdles in 55.13, and 2009 NCAA winner Joanna Atkins, who took the 400m in a season-best 51.25.

Trey Hardee won the battle of decathlete superstars in the shot put, throwing 15.28/50-1.75 to top Ashton Eaton's 14.84/48-8.25.

SKY'S THE LIMIT FOR WALKER
2007 World Indoor PV champion Brad Walker vaulted to the outdoor world lead with a clearance at 5.83m/19-1.5 on May 17 at the Sky Invite in Phoenix. Walker attempted 6.00m/19-8.25.

BolderBOULDER Announces Team USA and Team Colorado


BOULDER, Colo. - BolderBOULDER, America's All-Time Best 10K, has announced the men and women that will be racing in the 2013 BolderBOULDER with teams USA and Colorado for the International Team Challenge.





The BolderBOULDER established the International Team Challenge in 1998 and it includes professional runners from all over the world that compete on three-person teams in a team by country format, for one of the largest non-marathon prize purse races in the country. This year's total prize purse is valued at $110,600 before bonuses. The men's and women's professional races follow the BolderBOULDER course and are scheduled to finish just before the start of the Memorial Day Tribute.



"We are always very excited to host the International Team Challenge each year and feel that not only is it a chance to showcase some of the best professional runners from all over the world but that is also a highlight for every spectator and BolderBOULDER runner on race day," said
Cliff Bosley, race director.


Men for Team USA include; Aaron Braun, a Fort Collins native and Adams State graduate who placed fourth in the 2012 International Team Challenge; Brent Vaughn an Aurora, CO native, University Colorado graduate and winner of the 2011 U.S. Cross Country Championship; and Kenyon Nueman
a Nike Racing Team runner and University of Colorado alumni.



Women for Team USA include; Stephanie Rothstein, who placed 8th in the Olympic Track and field trials in the 10,000 meter race; Laura Thweat,the ninth fastest 5K University of Colorado performer ever; and Olympian Deena Kastor, 2004 Olympic Bronze medalist and three-time winner of the BolderBOULDER.

U.S. Field Looks Strong at 35th Freihofer's Run for Women


ALBANY, NY - The 35th anniversary Freihofer's Run for Women (FRW) 5K, set for June 1, 2013 at 9:45 a.m. in Albany, NY, will be another showcase of top national talent, including those who could very well become the future of American women's distance running.

Leading the charge in the open division will be Michelle Frey, 31, (Minneapolis, MN), who finished a strongsixth place - making her the top American - at last year's Freihofer's (16:03). A seven-time state champion for Iowa City High School before earning All-Big Ten honors at the University of Wisconsin, Frey appears to have overcome a series of niggling plantar fasciitis and hamstring injuries. She finished 22nd at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials (2:37:03).



Pushing her for the lead throughout will likely be FRW veterans Tera Moody (above), 32, (Colorado Springs, CO) and Esther Erb, 28, (Blowing Rock, NC). Moody continues to prove herself as one of the toughest American runners around having placed sixth at the Houston Marathon (2:39:10), second behind Mattie Suver at the GO! St. Louis half marathon (1:12:34) and 3rd at last Saturday's USA 25K Championships in Grand Rapids, Mich. Erb, meanwhile, the fourth American finisher across the line at last year's event (16:48), knows the Freihofer's course intimately and will certainly use that inside knowledge to her advantage.



"Athlete recruiter John Tope has done another stellar job assembling a deep American field for our event," said longtime FRW Event Director George Regan, noting that the women will vie for a piece of the $27,000 purse, $10,000 of which is earmarked for the winner. "Any of these women has the ability to pose a real threat to the international field."

After retiring from competition, he became a running journalist and served as the editor of Runner's World magazine. He has published multiple books on running and continues to contribute to Runner's World.



Donn Cabral is an American cross country and track and field athlete from Connecticut who went on to become a running star at Princeton University. He is the current American collegiate steeplechase record holder and was the 2012 NCAA steeplechase champion. He competed in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in the steeplechase.

Tolossa Gedefa Fufi, Diane Nukuri-Johnson Win 2013 Bay to Breakers
SAN FRANCISCO - (May 19, 2013) Taking on the streets of San Francisco for the first time ever, Tolossa Gedefa Fufi, from Ethiopia, placed first at the 2013 Bay to Breakers presented by craigslist, on Sunday, May 19, 2013. At 21 years of age, Fufi was one of the youngest elite runners in the field and follows in the footsteps of the many talented Ethiopians that have historically raced in Bay to Breakers.





Fufi (above) was neck and neck with Ethiopian Tesfaye Sendeku Alemayehu
all the way up to the top of the Hayes Street Hill, and then at mile three, as they took the turn from Fell Street to Divisadero, Fufi picked up the pace, took the lead and held it all the way to the finish in 35 minutes, one second. American Olympian Ryan Hall was second, 39 seconds behind Fufi. Alemayehu was third in 36:04.




The battle for first place amongst the women was also close with
Diane Nukuri-Johnson from Burundi taking first place in 40:12. Nukuri-Johnson and second place finisher
Adrienne Herzog (40:42) from Netherlands were running together from the start of the race to the bottom of Hayes Street Hill. On the way up, Nukuri-Johnson was fighting fatigue and Herzog surged ahead to win the climb to the top. Nukuri-Johnson started to recover on the descent and at the four mile mark in the park, she made her decisive move, took the lead and won the race for the women.Local favorite
Chelsea Reilly was third in 40:56.

UW-La Crosse Men, Wartburg Women No. 1 in Final DIII Rankings


May 20, 2013


NEW ORLEANS – The UW-La Crosse men and the Wartburg women will enter this week’s NCAA Division III Championships — held in La Crosse, Wis., May 23-25 — as the favorites, according to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division III National Team Rankings released Monday.

Indoor champion UW-La Crosse has put itself in position to go for the 2013 track & field sweep as the computer favorite over in-state rivals No. 2 UW-Oshkosh and No. 3 UW-Eau Claire, while the defending outdoor champion Wartburg women will simultaneously try to protect their crown and keep No. 2 UW-Oshkosh from completing a 2013 sweep of its own.

The National Team Computer Rankings are a projection of how teams could fare at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. An explanation of the rankings system can be found here.

UW-La Crosse Men In Position for the 2013 Track & Field Sweep

With 23 total qualifiers and a computer score of 244.81 in the rankings, the indoor champion UW-La Crosse men are the best in Division III in both categories, but they lead in-state rival No. 2 UW-Oshkosh by slim margins on both accounts.

The Titans will send 22 qualifiers to the NCAA Championships and have a team score of 218.11. Both squads are nearly identical in terms of both the quantity and quality of their entries. La Crosse features 16 top-10 entries, including top-ranked Isaac Vazquez in the long jump (also No. 2 in the triple jump) and the top 4×100 squad; in contrast Oshkosh will not field any No. 1 seeds but will send 17 top-10 student-athletes to compete. The key to victory may very well come down to how well these student-athletes from both teams can stay true to or improve upon their rankings.

La Crosse boasts the largest contingency of jumpers at seven, sprinters and hurdlers with six and middle-distance runners with three; while Oshkosh’s strength comes in the throws with a division-best 12 entries.

No. 3 UW-Eau Claire is a distant third in terms of qualifiers with 13, but are within striking distance in the computer rankings at 178.03. Of the Bluegolds’ 13 entries, 10 are seeded in scoring position within the top eight, including Thurgood Dennis, who is ranked No. 1 at both 100 and 200 meters and is set to run a leg of the top 4×400 team.

UW-Whitewater checked in No. 4 with 10 entries and a team score of 121.66, followed closely by Whitworth at No. 5 with 12 entries and a 120.67 team score.

No. 7 North Central (Ill.)’s six distance runners are the most in the division.

Wartburg Women in Position to Defend Title

The Wartburg women do not have the strength in qualifiers numbers, but they still find themselves atop the final rankings with a team score of 164.94 and 17 entries into the Division III Championships later this week, in position to defend their title from a season ago.

Rival No. 2 UW-Oshkosh has given the Knights a run for their money in each of the past two seasons, finishing runner-up a season ago, winning the title in 2011 and finishing runner-up the two season prior — including to Wartburg in 2009. Heading into the championships this season the Titans are fewer than 40 points back in the rankings at 126.81 and will send 13 entries.

The Titans aren’t the only Wisconsin team pushing for a title, as No. 3 UW-La Crosse is set to field a division-best 19 entries at the championships.

The difference between the three teams comes down to top-10 nationally ranked student-athletes. No. 1 Wartburg features the most with 12, including top-ranked shot putter Kayla Hemann; No. 2 Oshkosh will send seven, headlined by Christy Cazzola, the division leader at both 800 and 1500, and entered at 5000, where she was the indoor champion; and No. 3 La Crosse with five. This also means that La Crosse has the most to gain if its student-athletes have career days that boost them in the rankings.

La Crosse’s 10 sprints and hurdles entries are the most in the division, while Oshkosh’s six throwers is tied for the division lead with No. 16 Tufts, and its four middle distance runners is the most in the division outright.

Sitting just behind La Crosse at No. 4 is Illinois College with a score of 99.46 and six entries — four of which are standout Melissa Norville. She is ranked No. 1 in both the long and triple jumps, No. 3 in the 100 hurdles and No. 15 at 200 meters.

The battle for fifth is as tight as the competition for the top spot, with Wheaton (Mass.) leading a pack of 13 teams within 25 points in the rankings.

Calvin boasts the largest number of distance qualifiers with four. SUNY Cortland, Ramapo and Washington (Mo.) each qualified four jumpers to lead the division.

Biggest Jump (Men): 11 – No. 24 Carthage
Biggest Jump (Women): 21 – No. 18 Illinois Wesleyan
