SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Redshirt sophomore Tommy Ward became the first member of Creighton men's track program to compete at the NCAA West Regionals, but did not advance in the 800 meters in competition held Wednesday evening at Hornet Stadium in Sacramento, Calif.
Ward came in with the sixth-fastest qualifying time in his eight-man heat and finished sixth with a time of 1:51.99. It was the sophomore's third-fastest time of the spring in the event, and just shy of the 1:49.95 that he would have needed to advance. Ward's time on Wednesday night ranked 42nd-fastest in the field in Sacramento.
