Members of the OLLU women’s track and field team participated in the 43rd Annual NAIA Women’s Outdoor Track and Field National Championship last week. The women competed in the 400mH, 4x100mR, 4x400mR and 5000m.
Aziza Clark and Loreaya Turner finished with a great season. Clark placed 11th in the prelims, missing the 400m hurdle finals by three tenths of a second. Turner finished 21st in the same event. Both finished the season as the two fastest freshman 400m hurdlers in the NAIA.
Head Coach Patrick Torres commented, “We keep elevating our performance at the national meet. Our individuals didn’t make the finals, but they put themselves in contention. Our relays also didn’t disappoint. I’m excited for next year; with development and new pieces, we will be even better.”
