EVENT PREVIEWS
Men's 10,000-Meter Run Final – Wednesday, 9:56 p.m.
Sam Lawler will race on Wednesday evening to get things started for the Orange. He'll compete in the NCAA final of the 10k. Lawler was eighth in the East semifinal to advance to Eugene. He has the 17th-fastest time in the field this season, a school-record mark he set at the Stanford Invitational earlier this season (28:21.63).
Lawler is in the NCAA final for the second-straight season. It's an event that Syracuse has consistently been one of the nation's top programs in. 'Cuse is one-of-four schools, and the only team in the ACC to have an NCAA finalist in three-straight seasons. The Orange have also qualified at least one man or woman to the NCAA final in the 10k in 12 of the last-14 NCAA Championships.
Washington State's Evans Kurui has the best time from the regular season (27:37.32).
Women's 200-Meter Semifinal – Thursday, 9:29 p.m.
Iaunia Pointer races on Thursday in the 200-meter dash, after back-to-back school record breaking performances in the first two rounds of NCAA competition. Pointer will race in the second heat of the event, where the top-two finishers plus next-three fastest times of the three heats advance to the NCAA final on Saturday.
Pointer's heat has Jasmine Montgomery (22.17 seconds) as the overall favorite. Pointer's PR from last week is at 22.90 seconds.
The nine qualifiers for the NCAA final will race at 10:37 p.m. on Saturday.
