Inman qualifies for NCAA track finals
May 31, 2002
Junior Courtney Inman recorded a 4:17.53 time in her preliminary heat at the NCAA track and field championships held at Louisiana State's Bernie Moore Stadium in Baton Rouge, La. A career best for Inman, the mark was the second best 1,500-meter race in Husky women's track-and-field history, trailing behind only Regina Joyce, who set the record in 1981 with a 4:12.7 time. Inman's time was the sixth fastest for yesterday's races.
In Inman's first-ever outdoor track-and-field championship race, she prevailed and now will have a chance at national prominence tomorrow when the final race takes place. Throughout the heat, Inman was neck-and-neck with Arkansas Razorback runner Christin Wurth, who had been to the NCAA once before this season.
Pole valuter junior Brad Walker will take his title shot today. Walker earned his first Pac-10 title earlier this month at Washington State. While the vault was 18-feet, 1/2 inches, it did not beat his provisional qualifying vault of 18-feet, 1 inch, which tied him for the third best in the nation.
