The Emporia State track & field team spent their \u201clast chance qualifier\u201d weekend at home and at the Ward Haylett Invitational in Manhattan hosted by Kansas State.\u00a0 It was the final chance for the Hornets to improve on provisional qualifying times ahead of the selection for the NCAA Outdoor National Championships set to be hosted at Welch Stadium in Emporia later this month.\u00a0 As such, the field wasn\u2019t full and the Big Gold didn\u2019t field a team in every event, but E-State was still racing the clock for time.\u00a0 The Hornet men ran the 4x100m relay in 40.39 seconds and Emmanuel Dukpe ran 46.97 in the men\u2019s 400m dash.\u00a0 Stella Agbokpah finished the 200m dash in 24.07 seconds with Barbara Bentum finishing in 24.46.\u00a0 Israel Domeh was second in a full field at 200m finishing in 21.07 seconds.<\/p>\n
Field events were also contested with Harper Schoendaller throwing 131 ft.-5 in. in the women\u2019s javelin while Zach Sulzen-Watson threw for a season\u2019s best 157 ft.-10 in. in the men\u2019s discus.\u00a0 Connor Deters led the way throwing 56 ft.-1 3\/4 inches in the shot put while Sulzen-Watson lobbed it 53 ft.-4 1\/4 in.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile ESU hosted a last chance qualifier at Welch Stadium for the multi-events on Thursday and Friday this week.\u00a0 Isabella Davie won the women\u2019s heptathlon scoring 5,165 points and didn\u2019t finish worse than fourth in any event.\u00a0 Lou Dumas was second.\u00a0 There were only two men in the men\u2019s decathlon with Luke Grace opting not to finish.\u00a0 The NCAA will announce the selection of the National Championship field via press release on Tuesday, May 12.\u00a0 Pittsburg State will be vying for their fifth-straight national title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo Courtesy of Emporia State Athletics.
