COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Oklahoma's men's and women's track and field teams qualified five student-athletes in four individual events and two relay teams to the NCAA Outdoor Championships on the last day of the NCAA West Regional in College Station, Saturday.
The Sooners closed the weekend qualifying 11 athletes and two relay teams, bringing the entry total to 14. Additionally, OU recorded two school records and a facility record on the week. The Sooners' 14 entries are the most since 2011.
Redshirt junior Isaiah Levingston downed several records on his way to punching a ticket for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore., June 9-12. Levingston clocked a personal best 48.58, making him the top-collegiate athlete in the event on the season. The Okla. native broke the 23-year-old school record previously held by Omar Brown. Levingston also downed the E.B. Crushing Stadium facility record set earlier this month.
The Sooners were two-for-two on the women's side of the high jump, qualifying both student-athletes to NCAAs. Junior Madison Langley-Walker tied for first, clearing a personal best 5-11.5 (1.82m). Her mark places her fourth on OU's all-time top-10 list. Langley-Walker will be joined by senior Falyn Reaugh in Eugene. Reaugh cleared 5-10.75 (1.80m) to earn her spot.
OU's men's 4x400-meter relay team punched the team's fourth ticket on the day, clocking a 3:04.68. The squad consisted of freshman Salim Epps, senior Devaniel Dale, senior Rayvon Allen and Levingston.
The women's 4x100-meter relay team was the second and final relay team to qualify to the NCAAs for OU. The team consisted of junior Deborah Giffard, senior Camri Austin, senior Ja'Leesa Giles and junior Kennedy Blackmon. The four women clocked a time of 43.90.
Sophomore Mikeisha Welcome earned her spot at the championships in the women's triple jump, leaping 43-10 (13.36m). She was joined by juniors Symone Washington and Allanah Lee. Washington jumped 41-1.75 (12.54m) to finish in 31st, while Lee leaped 40-11.75 (12.49m) for 35th place.
Langley-Walker returned to action, competing in the women's 400-meter hurdles. The junior broke the school record en route to earning a second qualifying spot at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Her time of 57.40 downed the previous school record set by Medinah Spencer in 2018.
The Sooners' final qualifier of the NCAA West Regional Prelims was Blackmon. The junior returned to the track to race in the women's 200-meter dash. She clocked a personal best 23.13 in the event.
The men's 4x100-meter relay team's season came to an end at the NCAA West Regional. The squad, consisting of redshirt senior Jackson Webb, senior Demarius Smith, junior Quoi Ellis and senior Devaniel Dale, completed the race in 39.68. They finished in 13th place.
