LAWRENCE, Kan. — The Lobos had to wait an extra day to get started on qualifying to the NCAA Championships.
But the wait proved well worth it.
Four University of New Mexico track & field athletes advanced to the finals of the NCAA Championships Friday after placing within the top 12 of their respective events at the NCAA West Preliminary Round at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence, Kansas.
Courtney Frerichs and Alice Wright both moved on for the 16th-ranked women's team, while the Lobo men advanced Allan Hamilton and Elmar Engholm to Eugene, Oregon, the site of the finals of the national championships in two weeks.
