With the NCAA Championships just a week away, scheduled for March 12-13 in Fayetteville, Ark., this will be the last opportunity for the Panthers to qualify or improve on their times.
The women’s team is coming off a third-place finish in the Big East Championship, and Coach Alonzo Webb expects them to come up big this weekend, hopefully winning the gold medal in the ECAC.
” The girls have a great shot at winning the title and I am really looking for them to improve their times,” Webb said.
Among the athletes Webb expects to perform especially well are Kimberly Lyles, who just last weekend broke her own school record in the 200-meter dash, and Tamara McGill, who is coming off a first-place finish in the pentathlon, at the Big East Championships.
” Tamara is still a little banged up but we expect her to have a good meet,” Webb said. “Kimberly should have a very good meet.”
Webb also thinks Amanda Walker and Trenace Elliot will perform well.
“I always expect big things from Amanda and Trenace; they are great competitors,” Webb said.
As for the men’s team, they will compete in the IC4A and Webb is expecting to see improvement from most of the team.
“I would like to see better performances from everyone and start preparing for the NCAA’s next weekend,” Webb said.
