Carducci Improves Time For NCAA Meet
       Carrie Carducci (Powell, Ohio) lowered her 3,000-meter steeplechase time to 11 minutes, 10.25 seconds at Saturday’s SIUE Twilight. That time places her in better position on the national performance list and increases her chances to be selected to participate in the event at the NCAA Division II Championships, which will be held at SIUE on May 22-24.
       Carducci provisionally qualified for the event in the first meet of the season and has lowered her time each meet she has run the event.
       “It is looking secure for her getting into nationals,” Coach Darryl Frerker said. “She will run again at conference and will be looking to win the event at the conference meet.”
       Cristen Carducci (Powell, Ohio), Carrie’s sister, provisionally qualified in the 3,000 meter run in a school-record time of 10:16.11.
       On the men’s side, Richard Skirball (Granite City) provisionally qualified in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:52.02.
       “Overall, the team is getting the experience we need to set us up for the conference meet,” Frerker said. “If we stay healthy, we’ll be one of the better teams.”
       Some select athletes will participate at the Butler Twilight on Saturday in Indianapolis, while the rest of the squad will prepare for the GLVC Championships, which will be hosted by SIUE May 8-9.
