PALO ALTO, Calif. - Jimyria Hicks, who sat out the 2001-02 track season as a redshirt, provided the shining moments for the Sooners at the USA Track and Field Junior and Senior National Championships Friday.
The sprinter from Arlington, Texas, who will be a senior in the fall, ran an 11.95 in the first round of the 100-meter dash to advance to the semifinal round tonight. She dropped her time in the semifinal to 11.68 but missed qualifying for Saturday's final by .15 seconds. She was the fourth best finisher of the collegiate runners in the semifinals.
She will continue competition on Saturday with the first round of the 200-meter dash, probably her stronger event.
Sophomore-to-be Austin Landreth of Elk City passed on the first two heights of the pole vault (15-1 and 15-9) in the Junior National competition, then missed all three attempts at the third height of the competition, 16-2.75. It was only his third no height performance of the outdoor season and marked the first time since March that he had failed to clear at least 16-6 in competition.
Former Sooner LaBoris Bean, running for the PTC Elite TC, finished 20th in the first round of the 400-meter intermediate hurdles Friday afternoon and did not advance to the semifinals.
Sophomore-to-be Lindsey Bourne competes in the women's pole vault in the Junior Nationals on Saturday while Hicks and former Sooner Alesha Peel are entered in the 200 and 100-meter hurdles, respectively, in the Saturday competition at the Senior Nationals. Junior Leslie Dunlap will compete in the women's senior nationals on Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Chaundra Allard begins competition in the heptathlon at the Canadian Senior Nationals on Saturday and several current and former Sooners, Aldwyn Sappleton, Raoul Harvey, Sand Swaby, Danny McFarlane and Michael Blackwood, are competing this weekend in the Jamaican Senior Nationals.
