BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Five Hilltoppers are headed for the Boston University Last Chance Qualifier on Sunday for a final shot at earning a trip to the 2019 NCAA Indoor Championships. The WKU representatives of Duncan Agyemang, Oliver Alexandre, Kymari Gates, Martin Owusu-Antwi and Lincoln Warren will compete in the men's 4x400-meter relay, looking to move into the NCAA's top-12 rankings to earn a spot at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Â
"This will be a tough meet because everyone's trying to get into that top 16," head coach Erik Jenkins stated regarding the weekend level of competition. "To qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships, you have to be in the top 16 for individuals and the top 12 for relays. It'll be a very competitive meet like we saw up there last year and we'll look to do even better this season."
Â
WKU's fastest 4x400-meter relay time came on Feb. 1 at the Rod McCravy Memorial Track & Field Meet in Lexington, Ky. At the time, the squad's mark of 3:08.07 ranked as the ninth-fastest time in the country. The reading now sits at 24th in the NCAA and is top-five among non-Power 5 programs.

The 2019 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships will be held on March 8 & 9 at UAB in Birmingham, Ala., the same place the Conference USA Championships took place. The current indoor qualifying list can be found HERE.
