Boise State's Simon Wardhaugh, Ryan Grinnell and Pontus Thomee have qualified for the finals at the NCAA National Outdoor Track and Field Championships in
Fayetteville, Arkansas. Sasa Kampic, the only representative from the Bronco women's team, finished 12th in her qualifying round of the javelin and did not advance to the finals.
Wardhaugh recorded the fifth best throw in
qualifying (218-feet, 11-inches) on his second throw to advance to Friday's
finals. Wardhaugh
captured the West title at the Regional Championships two weeks ago and has a
seasonal best of 224 feet.
Walter
Henning of LSU led all qualifiers with a mark of 229 feet. The hammer
finals are set for Friday at noon (MT).
Boise
State's Ryan Grinnell, who is the only athlete in the nation to qualify for
Nationals in the long jump, high jump and the long jump, began competition
today. Grinnell
cleared 6-10.75 to reach the finals of the high jump--he is one of 14 competitors who cleared that height. The Bronco superstar will compete against the nation's best Friday at 6 p.m. (MT). Grinnell was seeded ninth in the long jump but his top mark (25-2) was
seven inches shy of his seasonal best and he finished 17th. His top jump this year would have landed him in the finals.
Grinnell will compete in the triple jump Friday afternoon at
4:30 as the #4 seed in the nation. Grinnell won the Regionals by soaring
53-9.75.
Thomee
finished 12th in javelin qualifying to grab the final spot in the NCAA
finals. Thomee threw the spear 218-feet, eight inches last night and will
compete in the national finals Friday at 6:30 p.m. (MT).
Kampic
finished 12th in her qualifying round of the javelin with a throw of 149-10 and
did not make the finals. She needed a throw of 159-3 to advance.
