Wilson and Waugh compete
at Georgia Tech last chance meet
 IU junior Vronique
Wilson (Ft. Lauderdale/Boyd Anderson) and senior Gerald
Waugh (Miami/Coral Gables) hoped to improve their standings
for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships by competing
at this weekend's last chance meet at Georgia Tech.
But neither was able to post a better time from their previous
best, so Wilson, in all probability, will make the cut in the
women's 200-meter dash at the national championships, May 30-June
1 in Baton Rouge, but Waugh will stay home.
Wilson finished seventh at the Georgia Tech 200m with a time
of 24.01, more than a half-second off of her season-best time
of 23.24 accomplished at last week's Sun Belt Conference Championships.
With the NCAA inviting a minimum of 17 sprinters for that event,
Wilson's best time ranks 10th fastest in the nation.
Waugh was looking for a qualifying time in the men's 110m
hurdles, but he fell short. He posted a time of 14.47 at Georgia
Tech that was slower than his second-place 14.20 at last week's
conference meet, and well off the provisionally-qualifying time
needed to compete at the NCAAs. |
