The Barton Community College track and field program added five more national qualifying entries this weekend competing at the Washburn Open in Topeka, Kansas.
Competing just fifteen total athletes, six from the women's squad recorded four personal and/or season best efforts in adding two new qualifying performances while the men's nine entries also had four bests in adding three to its national list.
The program now has a total of 43 national entries secured, 19 from the women's side and 24 coming from the men's squad with two meets remaining on the schedule.
The Cougars' next meet is Friday in the two-day Tyson Invitational held in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in final preparation for the KJCCC/Region 6 Indoor Championships taking place February 17-18 at Pittsburg State University.
Sophomore Jazmine Williamson's high jump season debut rose to a 1.75m (5-08.75) height to win the event, immediately jumping to the No. 2 slot on the national rankings. Also competing in the long jump Williamson came up shy of national standards but recorded a season best 5.28m (17-04.00).
Shone Walters took on the 600 yard event for the first time to clock the nation's 8th best time of 1:27.14 (1:37.60 converted to 600m) in placing 4th overall in the 36-competitor field.
The national leader in the men's triple jump, Trevon Hamer punched his second ticket to the big show with a personal best long jump of 7.20m (23- 07.50). Hamer will be joined at nationals in the triple jump as Kalil Murphy's personal best landed at 14.44m (47-04.50).
Missing out on the Washburn Open 600 yard title by an eyeblink .005 seconds, Corlando Chambers added his name alongside two other Cougars already qualified with a personal best 1:11.87 (1:20.50 converted to 600m). Revon Williams, who punched his ticket in the season opener in Lubbock, placed 4th in the 35-man competitor field with a 1:12.15 time.
