NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
The women's 4x100 team that consists of Martina Cernochova, Maileka Slayton, Hannah Wood and Alicia Whittle will be running in the semi-finals at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon on Wednesday, June 10 at 7:15 (ET).
 
"We are excited to head back to Oregon for another NCAA Championship," Director of Track and Field Andy Eggerth said. "After nearly a full year of training for this moment it's fun to watch the ladies enjoy the results of their hard work."
 
This season the team has steadily improved. They posted their NCAA qualifying time at the Texas Relays with a time of 44.90. At the NCAA East Preliminary round at North Florida, the team crossed the line in 44.74 to book their trip to Oregon.
 
Whittle and Wood were both a part of the team that made the trip to Eugene last year while Slayton and Cernochova are making their first trip out there. Eggerth thinks the experience that Wood and Whittle gained from competing last year will help them this year.
 
 "It's particularly beneficial that Hannah and Alicia competed here last year," Eggerth said. "They have more confidence and know exactly what to expect, what it'll take to make the finals, and they can share that with those making their first trip. Many times in one's first trip to the big show there's a little too much stargazing and not enough belief or expectation for themselves to beat the big names. Last year, our women's 4x1 saw first hand that they not only can compete but they can succeed. The stage is set now we just hope everything times up well and we perform at our best."
 
This is the second year in a row that Kennesaw State has a team running in the 4x100.

TRACK TOWN USA, HAYWARD FIELD
At the heart of Eugene's successful bid for the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic Track and Field Team Trials, Hayward Field looms as one of the world's most famous track and field venues.

In 2010, Track Town USA welcomed the NCAA Outdoor Championships for the 10th time since 1962 – the most of any venue in modern history. It's also the only facility to ever host three consecutive U.S. Olympic Trials (1972, 1976, 1980), while six U.S. Championships have graced the storied venue, including recent events in 1999, 2001, 2009 and 2011.
The centerpiece of 'Track Town, USA,' Hayward Field attracts athletes, coaches and fans from thousands of miles away because of its renowned crowds well-versed in the sport and ready to roar in approval. Hayward Field's historic, covered grandstands are equally beloved, and comparable to many famous European venues. The 'Carnegie Hall' for American track and field plays host annually to the nation's finest single-day track and field contest, the Prefontaine Classic, which features the top mix of national and international talent on American soil each year.
