Three Make Trip to NCAA Championships

AMES, Iowa- Three members of the Iowa State women's track and field team will make the trip to Sacramento, Calif., for the NCAA Track and Field Championships June 6-9.

The final meet of the season will feature senior Agata Kosuda. In her final outdoor season, the Poland native will look to acquire all-America accolades in the triple jump. This marks the second season Kosuda has qualified to compete in the NCAA national meet. In 2005, Kosuda's monster leap of 44-11 ? at the Big 12 Conference outdoor meet qualified her regionally. However, Kosuda was forced to sit out due to injury. Kosuda, who will compete Friday at 3:15 p.m., is currently ranked 10^th in the nation.

Priya Hoze will make her first appearance in the NCAA national championships. The senior is arguably ISU's most improved athlete this season. The long jumper is ranked 14^th overall going into the meet. Hoze's season highlights include a third-place finish in the Big 12 Conference long jump and an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Midwest Regional meet that qualified her for an “at large” berth into nationals. Hoze will make her final jumps as a Cyclone at 4 p.m. on Thursday.

Freshman Jenna Caffrey roped a fifth-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles at the Midwest regional meet, vaulting her into the championships. The Burlington, Iowa native has been stellar in her opening season with the Cyclones, recording top five finishes in every meet this season and breaking the freshman 100-meter hurdle record set by teammate Rebecca Williams. Caffrey is scheduled to compete on Wednesday at 5:40 p.m.

Complete results will be posted on cyclones.com following the meet. The NCAA Track and Field Championships will be broadcast live June 8 on CSTV at 7:30 and June 9 on CBS at 1 p.m.
