JACKSONVILLE, FLA. – Emmonnie Henderson and Edwin Kibichiy both qualified for the NCAA Championships on the second day of competition at the NCAA East Preliminaries on Friday. Henderson advanced in the discus while Kibichiy advanced in the 3000m steeplechase.
"Today was a much better day for us," said head coach Dale Cowper. "Emmonnie got us off to a great start this afternoon and Edwin finished up tonight with a great race in the steeple. Tomorrow will be a big day for us with the shot put, triple jump, high jump and 4x400m relay. I am confident that we will add some more finalists for the trip to Eugene in June."
