The Utes travel to Eugene for conference meet
EUGENE, Ore. – The Utah track and field team heads to the Pac-12 Championships on Saturday and Sunday, May 13-14. The two-day conference championships will be held at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
Â
"Our kids are excited and ready to go. I think they are about as confident as they can be. We have a lot of kids coming off lifetime bests this year. We just want to improve. You always want your best effort to be at the end of the season or in some cases you want to have a great effort to give yourself more confidence going into the NCAA meet," head coach Kyle Kepler said.
Â
Running events at the Pac-12 Championships are scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. PT with the men's 4x100 meter relay, while the women's relay will follow at 1:40 p.m. PT. Field events for Utah will begin at 4:20 p.m. PT with the long jump.
Â
"We are going to take a squad that we believe will be very competitive in all of the events that we enter. We have a few kids that have the opportunity to score and also place higher than they are ranked. There is still an opportunity to qualify for the NCAA Preliminary rounds. We have a few kids right on the bubble who maybe need to improve their times or marks a little bit," Kepler said.
Â
Junior Grayson Murphy ranks first overall in the Pac-12 for her performance in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Murphy recorded a time of 10:05.77 at Oregon State High Performance to gain the top mark in the conference, as well as Utah's school record. Behind Murphy, three Utes also rank within the top-25. Freshman Ashley Licata ranks 15th (10:58.53), senior Dana Snell follows in 16th (10:59.07), and junior Becky Sarmiento ranks 17th (10:59.76) to round out the Utes ranked in the top-25.
Â
In the 5000-meter run, Murphy has the sixth-best time in the conference (15:58.29), which is the mark that set the new school record. Along with Murphy, freshman Poppy Tank ranks 23rd in the Pac-12 with a personal best time of 16:37.48.
Â
Murphy also ranks in the top-five Pac-12 athletes in the 10,000-meter run. Murphy's time of 34:06.69 is the fifth-fastest time in the conference this season. Â
Â
Junior Caitlin Faust is ranked 24th in the Pac-12 with her time in the 800-meter run. Faust recorded a personal best time of 2:09.46 at the Drake Relays.
Â
In the 400-meter hurdles, freshman Brooke Martin ranks 16th in the conference with a personal best time of 1:02.35.
Â
Freshman Holly Stallman ranks 24th in the 100-meter dash with her personal best time of 12.06 seconds.
Â
In the field events, freshman Ann Wingeleth is ranked fifth in the long jump with her best mark coming in at 20 feet, 1.5 inches (6.13m). Sophomore Christine Glasmann ranks fifth in the javelin with her mark of 156 feet, 2 inches (47.61m).
Â
"We are going to be well-represented across the board in sprints, jumps, distance events, and throws. We will have people entered all across the board and I won't say in every event but most events we will have at least one. We feel like the group we are taking has deserved the opportunity to compete at a championship meet of this magnitude," Kepler said.
Live coverage of the championship will air in a 3.5-hour show on Sunday, May 14, starting at 3 p.m. PT/4 p.m. MT across all 7 Pac-12 Networks. Live Results for the Pac-12 Championships can be found via http://www.flashresults.com/results.htm .
