THIS WEEK The University of Utah track & Field team will only have two athletes competing in a Last Chance Qualifier on March 3rd. The two athletes attending the qualifier are seniors Amanda Feigt, who will be competing in the long jump, and Susan Atwater, who will compete in the pole vault.
LAST WEEK The Utes showed a championship effort at the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships last weekend in Albuquerque, N.M. They placed 6th with a score of 45 points, just two points short of Wyoming who took fifth. The Utes Set or tied six school records at the championships, starting with Amanda Feigt who broke her own pentathlon record last Thursday with 3,891 points. Friday, she had her first jump over 20-feet in the long jump (20-1) and placed third overall for her second all-conference performance of the meet.
Sophomore Chelsea Shapard broke two school records on Friday. In the 200m dash she had a time of 25.23 (13th overall) and in the 400m dash she broke Feigt's mark with a time of 54.83. Whitney Wellington continued to shatter her own record in the 60m dash, (for the fourth time this season) with a time of 7.72 seconds. Senior Jennifer Cutrer saved her best race for last, as she tied April Jackson's school record in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.60.
UTE NOTES Seniors Feigt and Atwater are inches away from receiving NCAA qualifying marks and hope to finish off their indoor season with a trip to the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville, Ark. The NCAA list only invites about 18-20 athletes per event and is the third most difficult NCAA Championship after swimming and cross-country.
KEPLER'S QUOTES "I am very proud of the team this year," exclaims coach Kyle Kepler, "Especially our seniors who have stuck with the program and have shown great leadership on and off the track. Amanda Feigt and Susan Atwater have contributed a lot to this program and it would be great to see them in the NCAA Championships."
