BATON ROUGE, La. - Jennifer Fontenot, Michael Blackwood and Bambi Carson posted NCAA provisional qualifying marks in the outdoor season opener for the Sooner track and field team at today's U.S. Collegiate Track and Field Series in Baton Rouge, La. As a team, the Sooner men and women finished third. Texas A&M won the men's meet with 190 followed by LSU (189), OU (128) and TCU (123). LSU won the women's meet with 191 points followed by Texas A&M (189), OU (176.50) and TCU (66.50).

Fontentot and Blackwood are coming off trips to the NCAA Indoor Championship while Carson also beat the provisional mark for the indoor meet. Fontentot won the 400-meter dash with a time of 53.45. Blackwood finished second with a 45.86. Carson won the shot put with a 49-5.75.

Staneshia Bell was a double winner for the Sooners, taking the women's 100- and 200-meter dash. She ran a 11.70 in the 100 and a 23.85 in the 200. Other Sooner winners included Katie Webster with a 143-3 in the javelin and Michael Westlund with a 16-4.75 in the pole vault. While the Sooners had a number of finishes that would have earned points, the meet was set up to allow each team to only have two athletes score in each event, regardless of finish.

The Sooners will travel to El Paso, Texas, next Saturday for a meet with Texas-El Paso, BYU and New Mexico.
