Heat can't keep Hoosiers from NCAAs

By Rob DeWitte and Rob eWitte · Wednesday, June 2,2004 10:48 p.m.

With temperatures hovering at or above 90 degrees, IU men's track team's top stars qualified for the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the NCAA Regional meet this weekend at Louisiana State University. The best result came from junior All-American Aarik Wilson, who set a new personal best and school record in the triple jump en route to a second place finish. His mark of 16.91 meters, while short of the phenomenal jump of winner LeeVan Sands of Auburn (17.30), broke Robert Cannon's 1978 school record of 16.87. Wilson currently ranks second in the nation and will be a strong contender for the NCAA triple jump title. Freshman All-American and Big Ten champion David Neville finished third in the 400 meters. His 45.88 seconds puts him consistently running under 46 seconds and indicates a shot at running even faster at the NCAA Championships.
