Third-Ranked Bulldogs, Lady Bulldogs Run At Ole Miss Open
State's men, the third-ranked team in the country, have 18 entrees into the NCAA Mideast Regional meet to be held in Columbus, Ohio at the end of the month. MSU's women boast six regional qualifiers going into the final regular meet of the year.
The Bulldogs look to junior Keston Nelson and sophomores Glenn McFadden and LaChristopher Lewis for their top performances this weekend. All three are regional qualifiers in the 200m, with McFadden and Lewis also qualifying in other individual events. Nelson could add a 400-meter dash to his schedule at the Mideast Regional.
MSU's women competing this weekend will include freshmen distance runners Jennifer McPherson, Zita Magloire and Mina Thorstenson. McPherson and Magloire could qualify in either the 800m or 1500m, while Thorstenson will likely run in the 5000-meter run.
Events begin at the Ole Miss Track & Field Complex at 10 a.m. with the women's hammer and men's javelin.
