Meet Results | NCAA East Prelim Information | Day 1 Recap | Day 2 Recap GREENSBORO, N.C. - Sophomores Nicole Rozario and Jared Thomas followed in the footsteps of a pair of teammates as the University of South Florida track and field duo qualified for the NCAA National Championships during the third and final day of action at the NCAA East Preliminary Round. Rozario, expected to run Friday night in the 3,000 steeplechase, instead had to run Saturday morning after heavy rains and lightning forced the postponement of the race. She placed eighth overall to earn a spot at the national meet June 9-12 at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon. "It's exciting because I've always wanted to run there," said Rozario. "I didn't get to go last year (when she was hurt for the USA Junior National Championships). I still don't believe that I made it. Coach (Dena) Reif has been telling me that was our goal since the beginning of the season. It feels very good to see that goal come to life." Thomas, meanwhile, just squeaked by to get to Oregon, taking 12th overall in the discus at the Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T. The top 12 finishers in each event at the East Prelim will advance to nationals to meet the top 12 finishers from the West Prelim. Rozario placed second behind Ashley Higginson of Princeton in the second heat, running a time of 10:30.36. The top three finishers in each of the three heats advanced to the Championships along with the next three best times. Rozario's eighth-place finish among a field of 48 equaled her East Region ranking coming into the meet.

Watch Out Coachman Park, Relay For Life is Taking Over!
2010 Relay For Life of Clearwater gears up for its biggest year yet…
Clearwater 5/03/2010 03:43 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Coachman Park in downtown Clearwater will be the official host site to hundreds of community volunteers that will be rockin’ and walkin’ from 6 p.m. May 7 to noon on May 8 during the 15th annual Clearwater Relay For Life event themed Rock on the Water, Cancer is a Beach!
The Clearwater Relay volunteer committee hit the track running after hosting its annual kick-off party at the Belleview Biltmore Country Club in November where 15 teams signed on including PostcardMania, Clearwater Beach Hyatt, The Oaks of Clearwater, Sunscreen Film Festival Committee, Clearwater Highschool and many more.
Over the past few months, Clearwater Relay has received generous support from local businesses. Abe Moussa, proprietor of Mugs on Missouri, hosted a Clearwater Relay fundraiser in December joined by Special Ed from Wild 94.1. Abe donated a portion of the evening’s restaurant sales. Special Ed sold copies of his Scary Karaoke Show CD and donated 100 percent of the proceeds. In total, nearly $2000 was raised for Clearwater Relay at this single benefit.
