Ashland University's outdoor track and field teams have seen their automatic and potential national qualifiers pool grow once again, increasing their ranks for the 2015 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Nationals (May 21-23 in Allendale, Mich.) to seven automatic and 26 provisional marks.
The AU men, the No. 1-ranked team in Division II, and Eagle women, ranked 10th in the country, will play host to the annual Ashland Alumni Open on April 24-25 (schedule - http://static.psbin.com/o/e/ci3ol3r6491alg/Final_2015_sked.pdf), and will do so with some of the top athletes in the nation.
Senior Drew Windle boasts the top Division II outdoors time in the men's 800-meter run (1:47.80), and junior Elijha Owens does the same in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles (51.83).
Junior Jamie Sindelar has the second-farthest outdoors women's shot put in D-II this spring at 16.12 meters/52-feet-10¾.
