Williams Takes Second, Harper Wins At Georgia Tech
May 25, 2016 | Track & Field
The runner-up showing stands as the 14th top three finish this season for the Milton, Fla., native. Her only non top-three showing this season came at last weekend's SEC Championships, where she took fifth place.
Harper won the 100 meters with an 11.49 mark that meets NCAA provisional qualifying standards. Harper ran a school-record 11.38 at the Texas Relays earlier this season, but the timing did not qualify toward the NCAA Championships due to excessive wind readings.
The lone Bulldog competing this weekend, senior Vance Clarke finished sixth in the triple jump. Clarke leaped 49-3 1/2 after taking third at last weekend's SEC Outdoor Championships. Sophomore Pierre Browne did not run for the second straight meet along with junior Dion Crabbe, who had an outstanding weekend for the Blldogs in Columbia, S.C., a week ago.
Head coach Al Schmidt's squads now wait to see which individuals will accompany Williams to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. This year's NCAA meet will be run May 30-June 2 in Eugene, Ore.
