NEW ORLEANS – No. 9/14 BYU track and field has qualified 59 entries for the 2022 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field West Preliminary at John McDonnell Field in Fayetteville, Arkansas on May 25-28.
“Our assistant coaches have prepared our athletes well and we are excited to compete at the West Preliminary,” said BYU director of track and field Ed Eyestone. “Given the quantity and quality of competitors we will have in Fayetteville, we have an excellent opportunity to advance to nationals and finish in the top-10 there.”
The women's team tallied 37 total entries, including two relay teams, sending 33 athletes to Arkansas. Heptathlete Halley Folsom Walker automatically qualified for the event at Nationals in Oregon on June 8-11, but also qualified for the 400-meter hurdles at next week's West Preliminary.
