LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Memphis track and field teams competed in the NCAA East Preliminaries this past weekend, and are sending two performers to the 2017 NCAA Championships.
Junior and sophomore qualified for the national meet in the men's and women's javelin, respectively. The NCAA Championships are June 7-10 in Eugene, Ore.
The NCAA meet appearance is Criticos' second of his career, having competed in the 2015 national event. It is Pryke's first trip to the NCAA Championships.
In late action Saturday, the NCAA East Preliminaries had to juggle a schedule that shifted as a result of inclement weather all day.
