Women's Track Treks to California for Mt. SAC Relays

WALNUT, Calif. (EMUEagles.com) -- Eastern Michigan University's women's track and field team will go west to Walnut, Calif. for the Mt. SAC Relays which will take place at the Hilmer Lodge Stadium located on the campus of Mt. San Antonio College—nearly 30 miles east of Los Angeles.

The Mt. SAC relays play host to nearly 14,000 athletes who compete in more than 200 events during the five-day meet. The Eagles will compete April 14-16 in 16 different events, as 18 athletes battle top competition across the country.

Eastern is looking to build off of the success of the indoor season in which EMU captured a conference crown for the first time since the 2000 season. In their quest, the Eagles have had numerous athletes compete well in the early stages of the 2011 Outdoor season.

Freshman triple jumper Shnell Wishart has the best mark in the conference and the 58th-best nationally with a mark of 40-5. Fellow field athlete, and one of the team's co-captains, Jessica Hemmingway, is No. 71 nationally with a pole vault of 12-7.50. Asia Rawls' 400-meter hurdle time of 1:00.86 is the best time in the conference and the 75th-best time in the nation this year. Tiffany Kincaid and Amber Hutson, in the 10,000-meter, and Shantavia Williams, in the 400-meter run, rank just outside of the top-100 nationally in their respective events.

Below is a schedule of events for the collegiate portion of the Mt. SAC Relays.
