The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships are set to begin in Seattle on Friday, giving BYU athletes one final opportunity to qualify for the NCAA meet.
The top 16 athletes or relay teams nationally in each event qualify for the end-of-year indoor meet. The Cougars have two athletes who will almost assuredly find themselves in Birmingham, Alabama, for the NCAAs in two weeks in Shaquille Walker with his fourth-fastest 800 meter time and Zachary Blackham, who is tied for the 10th-best high jump. BYU coach Ed Eyestone is focused on getting the rest of the Cougar hopefuls there as well.
