DES MOINES -- Stinging cold and light precipitation stayed over Drake Stadium throughout the day Friday as Louisiana Tech was still able to send five athletes to the finals Saturday at the 2008 Drake Relays.
Junior Michael Coleman ran a 10.54 second performance in the men's 100 meter dash to finish third in his heat, while the women's 4x400 team of junior El Charrita Reynolds, sophomore Kamelia Stroy along with freshmen Monique Wright and Shante Benion ran an NCAA Regional Qualifying time of 3:40.65 to qualify for finals.
"It's a huge achievement for them to have the second best qualifying time here," Tech head coach Gary Stanley said. "Hopefully tomorrow we will have some resounding success."
