Williams, Weddington, and Friedberg Compete at "Last Chance Meet"
Cleveland, TN - Over the weekend, select members of the Eagles Track and Field Program competed in the Lee Univesity Last Chance Meet. The meet had members from all classifications of the NCAA and NAIA so the competition was very solid and strong. Eagles Track top performers, Kerion Williams, Trisstan Weddington, and David Friedberg all finished with good results and national qualifying marks. These three and others should be ready to go when the NAIA National Meet takes place starting on May 25th. All athletes competing at the NAIA Nationals have to qualify to make it so just making it to that level is an accomplishment in itself. These three athletes have a chance to do really well at the National Meet so Eagle Nation will be looking forward to how they do.
Here are the numbers from this past weekend's meet:
National Qualifiers and current NAIA rank
Trisstan Weddington – Long Jump – 7.55m - National A Standard - #3 ranked in the NAIA.
Kerion Williams – Long Jump – 7.33m - National A Standard - #7 ranked in the NAIA.
– Triple Jump – 14.56m - National A Standard - #22 ranked in the NAIA.
