(Sacramento, CA) For the third consecutive year, Sun Devil Track and Field has qualified 11 to the NCAA Championships final site. On the men’s side, ASU earned qualifiers in the men’s 200m, 400m, 4×100, 4×400, shot put and discus. The women will be represented in the high jump, pole vault and triple jump. ASU’s participation in the NCAA West Regionals were highlighted by Christina Warren breaking her own program record in the triple jump that she had set just two weeks prior at the Pac-12 Championships. Warren went 13.35m/43-9.75 on her third attempt. The Sun Devils are also one of two programs in the country to qualify three 400m runners, tied only with Florida. The NCAA Championships run June 7-10 at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, Texas.
