May 3, 2004 Track Enters Final Warm-up Before GLVC’s SIUE track and field will participate in the Billy Hayes Invitational on Friday, its final scheduled meet before the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships, which begins May 13 in Indianapolis. “We plan on taking the athletes who are close to qualifying for nationals or who needs to improve their qualifying times and distances,” Coach Darryl Frerker said. SIUE had three more NCAA provisional qualifiers at the Butler Twilight meet. Ryan Boyll (Normal) ran the 3,000-meter steeplechase in a time of 9 minutes, 23.88 seconds to add his name to the provisional qualifying list. Phil Freimuth’s (Effingham) throw of 194 feet, 1 inch in the javelin was good for a school record and a provisional qualifying mark. On the women’s side, Mary Witte (Normal) added her name to the provisional qualifying list in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 11:29.89. Tairisha Sawyer (Chicago) lowered her provisional qualifying time in the 200-meter dash. The women’s 4x100 meter relay team also improved its provisional qualifying time. “Overall, Butler was a good meet for us,” Frerker said. “There were a lot of personal records and some good things came out of it.” -siue cougars- |
