SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The No. 1 Texas women's track and field team had three qualify for the NCAA Track and Field Championships on Thursday night at the NCAA West Preliminaries.
Senior Marilyn Nwora was the first female Longhorn to punch her ticket back to the championships in Austin in the shot put. Her personal-best throw of 18.14m (59-6.25) was good for a fifth-place finish and moved her up to No. 2 on the Texas All-Time performer list behind Texas legend Michelle Carter's throw of 60-0.5. She joins Patrick Piperi who also qualified for the men's shot put on Wednesday night.
