BLACKSBURG, Va. -
Shawnee Carnett ensured herself of a spot at the NCAA Division II Indoor
National Championships by running the 800-meters in an automatic
qualifying time of 2:08.51 to lead the Concord University women's track
and field team at the Virginia Tech Challenge.
In addition to being a school record, Carnett's time is currently the
second fastest 800-meter mark in all of the Division II. Carnett, who
was over two seconds faster than her nearest competition Saturday,
trails only Helen Crofts' (Simon Fraser) time of 2:07.34 in the national
rankings.
Other standout Concord athletes from the Virginia Tech Challenge
included Ashleigh Taylor, who broke her own school record when she
cleared 1.60 meters in the high jump. Taylor's former record jump was
1.59 meters.
Concord's WVIAC-leading 4x400-meter relay team of Carnett, Demi Kirk,
Casey Ord and Lydia Powell clocked a time of 3:56.20 to come in fourth
place.
Powell also set a new PR in the 400-meter dash, completing the race in
1:00.18. Micalyn Miller qualified for the WVIAC Championships in the
800-meters with a personal-best time of 2:33.15.
Before shifting their attentions to the outdoor season, Concord track
and field athletes will have one more opportunity to qualify for the
Indoor National Championships when CU heads to the Virginia Tech Last
Chance Meet on March 2.
