CCNY Sends Four Track Athletes To Nationals

New York, NY - The CCNY Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Team will send four representatives to the 2007 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships May 24-26 at the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Alecia Watson a nineteen-time All-America and a two-time Outdoor Triple Jump Champion will be defending her title. Last outdoor season, Watson leaped an amazing 12.47 meters (40-feet, 11 inches) to earn the gold. She also finished strong in the 100-meter, 200-meter and in the long jump. Watson will look to repeat as champion and better her performances. Watson is the top seed in the long jump, with a season best of 5.95m (19-6 1/4). She also holds the fastest time in Div. III in the 200-meter (24.45), the second fastest time in the 100-meters (11.99), and the second longest distance in the triple jump (12.14m (39-10).

Mechelle Barnwell, a fourteen-time All-American and Indoor Individual Champion in the 55-meters, will look to earn her first Individual Outdoor Title, as she competes in the 100-meter and 200-meter events. Going into the championships she holds the third fastest time in the 200-meters (24.59) and is seeded 8th in the 100-meters (12.13). At the 2006 Outdoor Championships, Barnwell earned the gold as she competed in the 4x100 meter relay team.

Jodyann Raymond, a five-time All-American, will compete in the 100-meters and the 4x100 relay team. Raymond showed some great performances during the season and going into the Championships holds the third fastest time in Div. III in the 100-meters (12.01).

Sharnalee Stewart made her debut at the 2006 Outdoor Championships and earned the gold and an All-America selection along with her teammates in the 4x100 meter relay event. Stewart will again compete in the 4x100 meter relay event. The qualifying team ran a 46.92 at the 2007 Penn Relays.

“I am very proud of all that these women have accomplished. Their commitment, dedication and hard work has allowed them to succeed and I know they will excel even more.” Says Coach, Kirk Roberts.
