Some items omitted from the NCAA indoor track & field story on Friday & Saturday involving Washington athletes:
In the women's 3000, Sequim native Stephanie Marcy from Stanford finished seventh in a time of 9:21.20 to earn All-America status;
In the women's distance medley relay, Bellingham's Becca Friday ran the 800m leg for the Oregon Ducks, helping them to a second place finish, and earn eight key points as Oregon successfully defended its national indoor team championship.
Apologies extended to those omitted....
Our next update will be on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean...see you then!
