Parris, Anokye Claim Quarterfinal Places in Sacramento

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Sun Devil sprinters took center stage Friday as Josephine Anokye and Jeminise Parris both advanced automatically to the quarterfinal rounds of their respective events.

Parris was the first Sun Devil to move on to the next round at the Prelims when she clocked a personal best 13.53 and grabbed third in her heat for the automatic qualifying place. The newcomer will lineup in lane three tomorrow for a chance to get to the NCAA Championship at the first time of asking.

Just like the prelims, the top-three finishers in each heat will automatically qualify for the meet in Austin, and the next three fastest times move on to the Texan capital.
