SACRAMENTO, Calif. — True freshman Louie Hinchliffe tied a Washington State men's track and field all-time program record in the 100-meter dash (10.17) to earn a spot in Austin at the NCAA Championships. Hinchliffe's nationals qualifying time highlighted the third of four days for WSU at the 2023 NCAA West Preliminary Round at Sacramento State University's Hornet Stadium.
Hinchliffe sat towards the back half of the field after the first 50 meters, but the former 200-meter sprinter closed strong to clock a wind-legal 10.17, tying Anson Henry's WSU program record set at Mt SAC back in 2002.
