The meet, which is hosted by Indiana State, will feature many NCAA Division I schools.        “This meet obviously will be good competition for us,” Coach Darryl Frerker said. “Our main focus at this meet is to qualify athletes for nationals.”        Individual athletes will be aiming to join 400-meter qualifier Jennifer Jaquez (Aurora) and 3,000-meter steeplechase qualifier Carrie Carducci (Powell, Ohio) as the athletes who have provisionally qualified for nationals.        Meanwhile, Jaquez and Carducci will look to improve their times to better position themselves on the national performance list in their respective events.        Both teams are coming off the Cougar Classic last Saturday. The women’s 4x400-meter relay team set a school record with a time of 3:56.59.        “We again had numerous personal records in the meet,” Frerker said. “It has just been a great start to our season. Hopefully, we can keep it going this weekend.”               -siue cougars-
