A-State Sends Record 18 Athletes To NCAA West Prelims

JONESBORO, Ark. (5/20/21) – A school-record 18 student athletes will represent the Arkansas State track and field teams at the NCAA West Region Prelims, held May 26-29 at E.B. Cushing Stadium in College Station, Texas.

The 18 athletes comprise entries in 17 events at the four-day event. This is the sixth-straight season that the Red Wolves will have entrants in 14 or more events and exceeds the previous A-State record of 16 set in 2019. The 2020 outdoor season was not contested due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Athletes who rank among the top 48 in their respective events earn bids into the NCAA West Preliminary Round, with others added due to scratches among the initial top 48.
