NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma men's and women's track and field teams send 23 athletes to last chance meets this weekend in hopes to qualify or defend a qualified position for the NCAA National Indoor Championships.
Six Sooners will compete Friday, March 2, at the University of Arkansas' Last Chance Meet in Fayetteville while 17, including four relays, compete Friday and Saturday at Notre Dame's Alex Wilson Invitational in South Bend, Ind.
To date, two Sooners Ronnie Pines (60-meter dash) and Chip Heuser (pole vault) are automatic selections for the national championships and 11 men's and nine women's entries are provisionally qualified.

The NCAA selects a total of 284 men and 284 women to compete at the national championships with minimum field sizes of 14 in individual events and 10 in relays.
The Sooners are one week removed from record finishes at the Big 12 Championships. Both the men's and women's teams scored their best overall finishes and points totals at the meet since the formation of the conference in 1996-97. The OU men were third (80.5 points) and women were fourth (74.5).
Individually, Portia Nash and Frankie Wright, respectively, swept the women's and men's long jump titles. Kevin Bookout (shot put) and Marcus Pugh (60-meter dash) also earned their first conference championship gold medals.
