Miami to Compete in Carle/Health Alliance Classic
Jan. 22, 2010
CORAL GABLES – The University of Miami track and field teams head to the University of Illinois to compete in the Carle/Health Alliance Classic at the University of Illinois’ UI Armory on Saturday, Jan. 23. Field events begin at 9 a.m. with the running events starting at 12 p.m.
The Hurricanes are one of nine schools competing on Saturday, along with UCF, Lincoln, Loyola-Chicago, Northern Illinois, SIU Edwardsville and Western Kentucky.
Ti’erra Brown, who ran to a top-10 finish last week in the 400m dash at Kentucky, will make her season-debut in the 60m hurdles. The junior was the national runner-up in the 400m hurdles last year. Fellow junior Takecia Jameson will also make her season-debut in the hurdles, while also scheduled to compete in the 200m dash.
After winning the long jump in Lexington, Ky. senior Deandra Doyley looks to make it two straight on Saturday. The Lauderdale Lakes, Fla. native will compete in the 60m hurdles and the triple jump. Sophomore Brittni Finch will also compete in the long and triple jumps. Both Doyley and Finch earned All-ACC honors in the long jump in 2009.
Cory Nelms, who just last week tied the school’s second-fastest time in 60m dash at 6.81 seconds, will look to replicate that performance in Champaign. Devon Hill, an ACC scorer in the 60m hurdles last year will compete in that event this weekend.
Below is the schedule of events for Saturday’s meet. If a student-athlete hits an automatic qualifying mark, their invitation to the NCAA Championships in March is sealed. If a provisional mark is reached, they will be added to a list, filling out the remaining openings at the championships.
