Tampa, Fla. - Five Auburn sprinters, Nathon Allen, Akeem Bloomfield and Raheem Chambers from the men's team and Jonielle Smith and Natalliah Whyte from the women's side, all qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships during Day 2 of the NCAA East Prelims on the USF Campus Friday.
It was another strong performance by the Jamaican duo of Allen and Bloomfield as they cruised to a 1-2 finish in the second of three 400m heats. Allen, the SEC Champion at 400m, and Bloomfield, the NCAA Indoor runner up in the event, had strong back halves of the race and cruised through the finish line to post times of 44.
