NCAA East Region Recap

With the bar set pretty high after Friday's performances, there was somewhat of an emotional letdown in the finals today. The women's 4x100m relay and Dionne Gibson in the 200m dash each carded a seventh-place finish, while Levi Brooks finished eighth in the 400m dash.

That said, the performances were still outstanding and I know I speak on behalf of the entire department that we are extremely proud of these athletes and the way they went out and represented CSU.

The season is still not over, though. Even though we did not get any automatic bids to the NCAA National Championships, there is a pretty good chance that our relay team will get an at-large bid, which will again pave new paths in the Big South. As we are driving back from Greensboro, Coach Langford and Levi are also looking at the 400m standings and there is an outside chance of him getting an at-large bid in the 400m dash, so keep your fingers crossed for both.

If you didn't catch the articles on CSUsports.com, the future of the program is bright as three freshmen have qualified, and will compete, at the USA Junior Nationals in Eugene, Ore.

I'll try to post some more pictures later, but the camera got packed in the back so I can't right now ... Thanks for following us on the blog this weekend. I know I'm not quite as exciting to read as the athletes, but the set up wasn't what I expected, and i didn't want to distract them too much.

If this is something that you have enjoyed and would like to see more of, or if you have other ideas for the blog, please let us know.
