SAN ANTONIO - Eleven members of the UTSA men’s and women’s track and field teams will travel to Norman, Okla., to compete in the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships hosted by Oklahoma on Friday-Saturday, May 27-28, at John Jacobs Track & Field Complex. Field events get underway Friday at noon while running events begin at 4 p.m. The meet continues Saturday from noon until approximately 8:30 p.m.

About the Regional Format:
In its third year of existence, the NCAA regional format splits the country into four regions: East, Mideast, Midwest and West. The Midwest Region draws qualifiers from the states of Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming. The top five finishers in each event (three in relays), excluding the 10,000 meters, heptathlon and decathlon, earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Outdoor Championships on June 8-11 in Sacramento, Calif. A handful of at-large qualifiers based on the season-long descending order list of marks then will be selected to complete the national field.

Leticia Cerna turned in an eighth-place time of 4:37.87 in the women’s 1,500m, while the women’s 4x400m relay team of Chonna Wright, Jessica Snitkoff, Lyndsey Sidney and Diane Smith finished 11th in 3:50.43. Johnson advanced to the NCAA Championships in Austin where he posted a 13.83 in the preliminary rounds of the 100m hurdles.

2005 Southland Conference Outdoor Review:
Ryanne Dupree won individual titles in the heptathlon and 100m hurdles and ran on UTSA’s victorious 4x100m relay team en route to being named SLC Women’s Outdoor Athlete of the Year and Outstanding Track Performer and leading the UTSA women to a fourth-place finish at the SLC Outdoor Championships in Huntsville, Texas. Dupree set a stadium record in the 100m hurdles with a 13.60 clocking to earn her second straight league crown in the event one day after completing a dominating performance in winning the heptathlon with a school-record 5,465 points. Dupree, who was the meet’s high point scorer with 25.5, also ran the second leg on the champion 4x100m relay along with Morgan Moszee, Lyndsey Sidney and Rosalind Holmes as the foursome punched their ticket to regionals with a stadium record 45.39. Holmes also won the 100m title in 11.60 and finished second in the 200m, while Moszee leaped to long jump gold with a personal-best 20-4 1/2 effort as the Roadrunners captured five gold medals on the weekend, their most at the conference meet since 1997. The men scored 96 points to finish third as Sam Houston State swept both team titles. UTSA did not win any individual crowns on the men’s side but did post a trio of runner-up showings including freshman Luke Johnson’s school-record 166-6 performance in the hammer, junior Bryan Wolfe’s 6,730-point showing in the decathlon and Larry Brooks’ 1:50.95 clocking in the 800m.
