COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Senior Katrine Haarklau and junior Markesh Woodson highlighted day two of the NCAA West Preliminary Round on Friday (May 29), earning two more NCAA Championship qualifications for the Tigers. Sophomore LaQuisha Jackson will also be back in action, qualifying for the 200m dash quarterfinals on Saturday. Ten Tigers will don the black and gold tomorrow for the final day of competition at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, Tx.
A championship meet is nothing without a few nail-biters, and Haarklau certainly delivered that on Friday afternoon, clinching her spot at Eugene on her final attempt during the pole vault. Making quick work of the first two bars, Haarklau cleared the last two heights on the third and final attempts. She closed the competition in 11th overall with a final clearance of 4.24m (13-11).
Woodson was the first Tiger to stamp his ticket to Eugene for the men's team, crossing in 11th overall in the 100m dash with a final time of 11.17 (wind-aided).
Jackson also had an exciting 100m dash quarterfinal competition, running 11.45 (wind-aided) to close in 18th overall. She returned to the track an hour later for the 200m dash prelims, taking fourth in her heat, 19th overall, with a final time of 23.53 (wind-aided) to qualify on to tomorrow's quarterfinal.
The final day of competition will kick off at noon on Saturday with the return of seniors Kearsten Peoples and Jill Rushin in the women's shot put. Both enter well-ranked in the region, with Rushin at fourth with her PR mark of 17.72m (58-1.75) and Peoples at eighth with her season's best 17.10m (56-1.25). Peoples has already secured her spot at the Championship meet, qualifying in the hammer throw on Thursday.
Other events to watch out for include the men's javelin, where senior Macauley Garton will return after his school record performance at the SEC Championships, earning his first All-SEC honor with a toss of 77.47m (254-2). Garton, who enters the meet ranked third in the event, will be joined by freshman Alex Pascal.
The men's triple jump is also set to be an exciting event for the black and gold, with a trio of Tigers chasing NCAA Championships qualification. Senior Jonathan Ilori leads the group, seeking his return to Eugene with his top mark of 16.07m (52-8.75). Joining him will be freshman John Warren and junior Tony Carodine, both of whom are entering the meet ranked within the top 20 of the field.
