COLUMBIA, Mo. - Junior L'eron George was a busy man Sunday at the Big 12 Track and Field Championships and in the process, he produced 13.5 points for Oklahoma Sooners, the most produced by a Sooner man.
George ran the second leg of OU's 400-meter relay that finished seventh; ran the third leg of the 1600-meter relay that was third; finished fourth in the 100-meter dash and was third in the 200-meter dash, a race whose top three finishes were decided by .06 seconds. George ran a 21.03, a season best, to finish third in the 200.
Junior Tiffany Davis posted an NCAA provisional mark in the 100-meter hurdles. Seeded eighth heading into the final, she finished sixth with a wind-aided 13.46. That mark was 0.14 better than the NCAA provisional mark. It also was .16 seconds better than her previous season best in the event.
It was a day of individual highlights for the Sooners who finished 10th in the women's team standings and 11th in the men's team standings. It also was a day that the Sooner track and field program clinched the 2002 Bank of Oklahoma Bedlam Series presented by Ford trophy for OU. The year-long series was tied heading into the outdoor track and field championships. The Sooner men posted a combined indoor/outdoor score of 88.50 while Oklahoma State had a combined score of 35. The Sooner women had a combined score of 59.5 while the OSU women finished with a combined score of 46. Those advantages gave OU the Bedlam trophy by a 10-9 margin.
Jennifer Ledford broke her own school record in the 3000-meter steeplechase with a 10:54.62 to finish fifth in that event. The Sooner pole vaulters, Leslie Dunlap and Lindsey Bourne, finished third and fifth. Freshman Amanda Warehime finished sixth in the shot put and Megan Crystal tied for eighth in that event. LaKisha Robinson was eighth in the 400-meter dash and the women's 4 x 400-meter relay finished eighth as well.
In addition to George's performances, sophomore Aldwyn Sappleton was third in the 800 and senior Raoul Harvey was seventh in the 400. That duo joined George and Moses Washington on the third-place 1600-meter relay. George was joined on the 400-meter relay by Andrew Crabbe, Brontez Steele and Edwin Jones.
The Sooners must now wait to see who will be invited to the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Today was the final day that marks could be posted for consideration for the 2002 field. Invitations will be issued on Thursday and the meet will open in Baton Rouge, La., on May 29. Currently the Sooners have two provisional qualifiers for the women -- Davis and Dunlap. On the men's side, Sappleton, pole vaulters Michael McNamara, Michael Westlund, Austin Landreth and Brett Corlett as well as the 1600-meter relay have met provisional standards.
