Hitting the Mark at the Last Chance

Image

Seattle, Wash. (March 6, 2004) -- In the last chance for the Cougars to improve their marks before Nationals, several of the BYU track athletes showed they are among the best in the nation with their performance's Saturday at the University of Washington's Last Chance Meet.

Two women athletes, freshman Amy Menlove and sophomore Kamilla Rywelska competed for the Cougars along with a dozen from the men's team.

On the women's side Menlove and Rywelska both claimed event titles in the long jump and triple jump, respectively. Menloves distance of 20-05.25 (6.23m) earned her NCAA provisional qualifications and Rywelska's jump of 43-05.75 (13.25m) broke the facility record set in January by Michelle Sandford (12.86m) from Nike.

The men's field team showed their competitive edge against top national competition, including most of the PAC-10 schools, as they recorded three second place finishes by Trent Powell in the pole vault (17-06.50/5.35m) who earned provisional marks once again and Rodrigo Mendes who took took second in both the long jump (23-04.50/7.12m) and the triple jump (50-08.00/15.44m).

Earning top spots for the men's distance team was Chad Simkins who took third in the 800m (1:51.29) and BYU's Distance Medley Relay team who took fifth in 9:46.52.

The Cougars return to Provo for final training before heading back to Arkansas for the 2004 NCAA Indoor Championships March 12-13.

Last Chance for Track

Provo, Utah (March 3, 2004) -- With only one week before the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, BYU athletes will get one last chance to qualify for nationals. This Saturday a few athletes will compete at the Intermountain Championships in Pocatello, Idaho.

The men's team, who are currently ranked third in the power rankings and No. 9 in the nation, will send several different athletes including jumper Rodrigo Mendes, thrower Dan Arrhenius, pole vaulter Trent Powell and middle-distance runner Chad Simpkins, who are close to going to Nationals and give them one last try to get better qualifying marks.

"We ran everyone so hard last week at the MWC Championships that we are not 100% on what will happen there or what kind of competition will be there," men's head coach Mark Robison said. "In certain events there will be great competition, especially in the Distance Medley Relay, it will be incredible."

On the No. 9 women's side, the team is only sending freshman Amy Menlove and sophomore Kamila Rywelska who both have already qualified for Nationals but look to improve their consistency and ensure their spot at Nationals.

"This will be nice for these two women to have a specialty meet to work on their jumps and really prepare them for their first national competition," women's head coach Craig Poole said.

After the athletes return from this weekends competition both teams will head to the NCAA Indoor Championship Meet held March 12 and 13 in Fayetteville, Ark.
