NATIONAL IMPLICATIONS

Renn Stearns and LeNay sit just outside the qualification range in the steeplechase and 10k respectively. While LeNay skipped out on the 10k at the championships, there are still three more opportunities for her to qualify prior to the NCAA Championships May 22-24.
 
Stearns, in the same boat, improved on his personal best by nearly three seconds in Saturday's final to take second in the conference.
 
The Tigers are back in action next weekend at Jack Kemp Stadium when they host the Oxy Invite.
