FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Drake University track and field was well-represented at the NCAA West Region Prelims with seven athletes on display. Despite solid performances all around, just two of the seven punched their ticket to Nationals as Isaac Basten and Anthony Barmes qualified for the NCAA Championships.
Anthony Barmes competed in a weather-delayed men's hammer throw on Wednesday night. The contest did not get underway until 10:15 p.m. Barmes fired off a throw of 69.07m/226'-7" to place seventh overall and earn a trip to Eugene, Ore. for the NCAA Championships.
