AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – One meet into the 2011-12 indoor track and field season and Abilene Christian Senior
Nick Jones has already qualified for the NCAA Championships in the shot put after recording a winning distance of 18.24 meters (59 feet, 10.25 inches) Friday at the Air Force Academy's Blue and Silver Open.
Jones' effort came up a half-inch shy of matching his personal best of 59-10.50 from last March's NCAA DII Championships.
In addition to Jones' performance, eight additional Wildcats recorded NCAA provisional marks in their respective events, including the men's 4x400-meter relay of
Jordan Geary, Osei Alleyne-Forte, Banjo Jaiyesimi and Levance Williams, which clocked a first-place time of 3:20.71.
Williams also recorded a provisional measurement of 7.19m (23-07.25) that placed him third in the long jump. His previous best in this event – 6.95m (22-09.25) – was registered at last January's New Mexico Invitational.
Also recording provisional times on the track were Paris Robertson (6.87) and Shennae Steele (7.68) in the men's and women's 60-meter dashes, and Lexus Williams, who finished as the runner-up in the 60-meter hurdles (8.76).
Steele and Williams also comprised half of the Wildcats' victorious 4x400-meter relay, which along with Ayesha Rumble and Karla Hope, posted a time of 3:59.95 against six other schools including Western State, UC-Colorado Springs, New Mexico Highlands and the host Falcons.
Hope additionally recorded a second-place time of 1:14.99 in the 500-meter dash, while defending cross-country NCAA South Central Regional Champion
Chloe Susset won the mile run in 5:35.56.
ACU men's and women's teams completed the meet with a combined 14 top-five showings.
