Texas Tech Track and Field Heads to Big 12 Indoor Championships
February 15, 1999 Meet Breakdown Meet: Big 12 Indoor Championships Location: Kansas State University Manhattan, Kansas Date: Feb. 19-20, 1999 About the Big 12 Championships.... The Red Raiders travel to Manhattan, Kansas, to compete in the 1999 Big 12 Indoor Championships. Both Texas Tech teams will look to improve on previous year's performances while posting more NCAA indoor championships qualifying time. Currently the Red Raiders have two individuals, Shamerion Turner in the 200 meters and Rohan McDonald in the 400 meters, and a men's 4X400 relay team provisionally qualified. The lone automatic qualifier is Leigh Daniel in the 5000 meters. The Red Raiders return their only Big 12 champion from last season's meet in Evette Turner in the women's mile. Turner ran a 4:45.72 to capture the title last year. Others to watch on the women's side will be Leigh Daniel in the 5000 meters who holds the top time in the nation and Ngozi Iwu who has ranked among the top five conference runners in the 400 meters all season. Sherri Coleman's times in the 55 meter dash have ranked her among the Big 12's best all season. She could possibly score points for Texas Tech in this event. On the men's side Shameron Turner holds the fastest time in the Big 12 in the 200 meters. He will be joined by a trio of All-America performers in Rohan McDonald, Desmond Johnson and Josephus "Pap" Howard. The four make up of one the best 4X400 relays teams at the meet. Invidually, Howard will look to battle Turner for the 200 meter crown. He won the race as a freshman in 1997. In the 400 meters, watch for McDonald and Johnson, to battle for the top positions in the race. They should both have a legitimate shot to win the race. Red Raiders at the Big 12 Indoor Championships WOMEN Year Location Champion Texas Tech 1997 Lincoln Neb., 160 10th, 23 1998 Ames Texas, 156 11th, 28.5 Red Raider Notes *Daniel Top in the Nation Leigh Daniel (Lubbock, Texas), running in the 5,000 meters, posted the first automatic national qualifying time by any Texas Tech runner this season. Daniel won the 5,000 over 34 other runners with a time of 16:15.29. The mark places her in the NCAA indoor national championships held in Indianapolis on March 6-7. Further more, the time is the best by any women's runner in the nation or Big 12 this season, and is the fastest time ever run by a Red Raider women in the 5,000 meters in either indoor or outdoor competition. It was the first time Daniel had competed in the event during the indoor season. "It was one of the most amazing performance I've ever seen," Dave Smith Texas Tech cross counrty/distance coach said."It was a great p.r. in her first performance of the year. She showed great speed at the end of the race. Leigh passed three women in the last 200 meters. I am very pleased with her and believe she could go under 16:00 by the end of the indoor season."

Turner recorded a time of 20.98 to provisionally qualify for NCAA indoors. As of February 12, he had the fifth best time in the nation. Turner has recorded the top two times for the Red Raiders in the 200 this season. His best time last season in the 200 indoor was 21.58.

The 1998 indoor All-America performer ran at time of 46.94 and took second out of 35 runners competing in the event. His top mark came earier this season at the Rocky Mountain Cup when he ran a 46.73. *No Sophomore Slump for Iwu After having a solid freshman campaign in 1998, Ngozi Iwu is showing her to one of the most dominant forces on the women's indoor track team in 1999. Already, she has set two school records in two events. Iwu claimed the top mark in the 400-meters with a time of 55.21 at the Cannon IV Classic on Feb. 6. She also earned the top mark and the Athletic Training Center record in the 600-yard dash with a run of 1:22.85 at the Red Raider Open on Jan. 16. *Men's 4X400 Qualifies The men's 4X400 relay team of Shameron Turner, Rohan McDonald, Desmond Johnson and Josephus Howard provisionally qualified for the indoor national championships with a time of 3:08.66 on February 5, at the Cannon IV Classic. As of Feb. 14, they have the sixth best time in the nation. Men's 4X400 Relay Top National Times as of Feb 12, 1999 *Coleman Leads Women's Sprints Sherri Coleman came to Texas Tech as one of the best junior college runners in the nation. This indoor season she has proved why she deserves that reputation. The former two-time NJCAA All-America at Ranger Community College, recorded a new Texas Tech indoor record time of 6.45 at the Rocky Mountain Cup on January 23. *Record Breaking Red Raiders This has been one of the best indoor seasons ever for Texas Tech. Especially when you consider the fact that five previous all-time indoor records have been broken during the 1999 campaign. Also, two new Athletic Training Center records in the men's and women's 600 yard dash were set during the Red Raider Open. Leading the way is Ngozi Iwu. She set a new school and Athletic Training Center record in the 600 yards of 1:22.85on Jan.16. Iwu set the new women's mark in the 400 meters at the Rocky Mountain Cup on Jan. 23 with a 55.21 in the race. New Texas Tech Records Set in 1999 *Getting the Results Results from this weekend's can be atttained from www.big12sports following each day's competition. *Tech Men's Sprinters Excellence in the Big 12 Texas Tech sprinters have established a tradition of rising to the top in the Big 12 conference during the Greg Sholars era. Red Raiders sprinters currently hold the top spot in both the 55 and 200 meters races. With four excellent sprinters on this year's squad, this weekend's championships should provide an excellent opportunity to post more times on the list.
