Wildcats Begin NCAA West Action Wednesday

ABILENE – Five Abilene Christian track and field athletes compete in the NCAA First Round West Meet this week, starting Wednesday.
 
Athan Huelskamp gets ACU started on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Fayetteville, Arkansas, competing in the men's shot put.
 
The top 12 from each of the field events that ACU competes in this week will advance to Eugene, Oregon, and the National Championships.
 
Also on Wednesday, Cooper Goggans opens in the men's 800 meters at 7:50 p.m. Goggans must be in the top three of his heat or be one of the next-best six times to be included in Friday's national quarterfinals. From the 24 quarterfinalists, 12 advance to the national championships: the three heat winners and the next three fastest times.
 
The women begin on Thursday with Kaitlyn Callaway representing ACU in the javelin at 2 p.m.
 
If Goggans qualifies in the 800, he will be the only ACU athlete on the docket for Friday, running at 7:05 p.m.
 
Ja'Dasia Sims takes flight in the women's high jump at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Ella Anttila launches in the triple jump at 6 p.m.
