The Emory University women's track and field team struggled
through a tough second day of competition at the NCAA Division III
Championships in Delaware, Ohio, failing to qualify for any of
Saturday's finals.
Emory's best performance of the day came from Alix
Dyer in the women's 100-meter dash, as the junior recorded
a time of 12.45 seconds, but finished 16th overall, failing to
qualify for the finals. The final qualifying time of the
preliminary round was 12.23 seconds, while a time of 11.78 seconds
was the top time in the event on Friday.
Emory junior Jasmine McCullough finished 23rd in
the preliminaries of the 100-meter hurdles with a time of
17.41 seconds. After beating all the competitors in her heat
out of the blocks, McCullough hit the second hurdle in the race,
costing her a chance at the event's finals. In the women's
triple jump, junior Lauren Attiah finished 24th
with a leap of 10.16 meters.
With no participants in Saturday's finals, Friday's competition
will conclude a successful 2011 season for the Emory women's track
and field team, which included conference titles at the University
Athletic Association (UAA) Indoor and Outdoor Championships.
The lone competitor for the Emory men's team, junior Ian
Francis, will take part in the triple jump on Saturday at
noon, wrapping up competition for the Eagles at the 2011 NCAA
Championships.
