12 Miners earn bids to regional track meet

For 12 UTEP track athletes, there will be at least one more step in the postseason.

A total of 10 individuals in 11 events plus the women's sprint relay team will journey to Lawrence, Kansas, May 26-28 to compete in the NCAA West Regionals with berths at the national championships at stake.

The top 48 athletes to declare in each event and 24 relays were taken to regionals, where they need to finish in the top 12 to advance to next month's championships in Eugene, Ore. Hepthathlete Lucia Mokrasova has already earned her trip to nationals as there are not regionals in that multi-event.
