Utah track & field will have a 4x100m relay team at NCAA Championships for the first time in program history.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Utah track & field team saw its 4x100m relay team make history when it recorded a time qualifying mark to punch its ticket to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday inside E.B. Cushing Stadium on the final day of competition at NCAA West Regionals.

Utah's total of six athletes that punched their ticket to Eugene for the NCAA Track & Field Outdoor is a new program-high – which was set last season with five.

The day got off to a hot start for Utah as Megan Rose, Emily Martin, Bailey Kealamakia and Chelsea Amoah became the first 4x100m relay squad to earn a berth to the NCAA Championships after finishing with a school record time of 43.85 to earn the last and final time qualifying spot.

Utah's 1500m trio of Bri Rinn, Erin Vringer and Millie Wilcox was unable to advance to Eugene. Rinn was just shy of the final qualifying time mark, crossing at 4:13.05 while Erin Vringer was right behind her at 4:13.35. Wilcox would round things out for the Utes with a run of 4:21.49.

In the 3000m steeplechase, Sona Kourilova was just off of her personal best when she clocked in at 10:19.46 in her first NCAA West Regional meet. Emily Chaston wasn't able to advance too, finishing at 10:22.71.

Vringer would return to the track for a second opportunity to punch her ticket to Eugene, but was short in the 5000m race when she clocked in at 16:20.17.

The 4x400m relay squad consisting of Amoah, Martin, Annie Ivins and Kealamakia closed out the weekend for Utah and finished with the third-fastest mark in program history at 3:35.30 but wasn't able to notch an advancing mark.
