NORMAN, Okla. – Four Cowgirls failed to qualify for an opportunity to run in Saturday's finals at the NCAA Midwest Regional Track and Field Championships.
Senior Shaylee Babbitt and junior Jennifer Schmitz ran in the 100-meter hurdles prelims on Friday. Babbitt clipped the fourth hurdle which hindered her strong start and possible qualifying time. Babbitt ran a time of 14.28 seconds and finished in 20th-place, while Schmitz ran a time of 14.23 and finished 19th.
“Shaylee has had a tremendous career as a Cowgirl and has really made a remarkable improvement since stepping foot on the University of Wyoming campus,” said head coach Don Yentes.
Senior Sharon Larrier and sophomore Afiya Walker both ran in the 400-meter dash and like Babbitt and Schmitz, didn't qualify for the finals. Larrier ran a time of 54.69, while Walker had a time of 55.15 finishing them in 13th and 16th respectively.
Saturday will be the final day of competition as seniors Jake Shanklin and Sam Lambert will start off the day for the ‘Pokes in the hammer throw, beginning at 10 a.m. (MT).
