ABILENE, Texas - Sophomore Leslie Dunlap cleared a season best 13-1.75 to win the Abilene Christian Invitational pole vault title Thursday afternoon. The mark is an NCAA provisional qualifying height and improves her season best by just over two inches.

It was an OU sweep of sorts as Sooner volunteer assistant coach Kurt Hanna, competing for Zero Gravity, cleared 17-8.75 to win the men's title.

Senior Brett Corlett, after battling various injuries that go back to January, finished fourth with an NCAA provisional mark of 17-4.75. Senior Michael McNamara finished fifth, also with a 17-4.75. McNamara has a previous season best of 17-6.5 to put him on the NCAA provisional list.

Freshman Lindsey Bourne finished fourth in the women's competition with a season best 11-8.5. Junior Robin Hanna was 10th in the men's competition with a 17-0 and freshman Austin Landreth was 12 with a 16-6.

The Sooners will travel to the sixth annual Big 12 Track and Field Championships next week. The meet begins on Friday in Columbia, Mo., and runs through Sunday, May 19.
