The TU has a really nice article this morning on one of our (many) T&F standouts.

 

Estremera jumped at this opportunity

 

Good luck to this outstanding team UA is sending this weekend!

Pole Vault looks to be the first event with a UA athlete in, which starts at 3pm today (Friday).

 

First track event with a UA athelete is the men's 1500 which goes off at 4:55pm Friday.

Not sure what happened to Moore in the 1500.....he ran a 4:07 ---- 22 seconds slower than his best. Hopefully he didn't get hurt because his best times could get him into NCAA's anyway I think.

Kamilah McShine finished 8th in the 400 hurdles, almost 4 seconds off her preliminary time, but even repeating that prelim would still have put her only up to 7th.

 

Jenn Gurrant placed 16th in the triple jump.

[UAalum72]

Albany men's team is in 10th place of 45 teams scoring, the top non-BCS-conference team.

 

Joe Greene gets third place in the 400 IM hurdles.

 

Men's 4X400 finishes fourth, ahead of Georgia

 

Estremera finishes fifth in the steeplechase.

 

Michael McCadney seventh in the triple jump.

 

Schoen ninth in the pole vault, Lauren Cummings 20th in women's steeplechase.

 

Tremendous showing, let's see how many go on to the NCAA finals.

Albany should have 6 student-athletes going to NCAAs.

 

Joe Green and Ricardo Estremera auto-qualified. Alie Beauvais is GUARANTEED to go as his time is 6th in the nation and he was beaten by 3 of the better 5 at Regionals, meaning at most he would be the 3rd at-large bid of 4 to get in. (but he's actually #1). Luke Schoen should also just squeak in. And surprisingly enough, their 4x4 may actually make the field depending on how many they elect to participate. Their time places them 17th in the NCAAs, the field size last year was 18, and two teams ranked ahead of them in the NCAAs did not finish in the top 10 at Regionals leaving them out of the running.

 

It is not out of the question for Albany to finish in the top 10-15 at NCAAs.
