Track & Field has 4 strong showings at LaCrosse meet

St. Thomas had four strong provisional performances at Thursday's NCAA qualifier meet in LaCrosse, Wis.

Brian Sames was second in the 800 meters in a season-best 1:52.26. That ranks him 13th in Division III and right on the bubble to make the national meet.

James Ewer won the long jump in a season-best 23-1 1-4. That hit the NCAA provisional standard by one-half inch but ranks 26th overall.

The women improved their provisional-qualifying time in the 4x400 relay as they clocked 3:53.24. That's the 14th-best time and also has them on the bubble.

Shara Guidy was the top collegian finisher in the discus, and her mark of 147-10 ranks eighth-best in the country and should send her to nationals.

Several other Tommies competed in the non-team scored meet:
