AUSTIN, Texas - A group of current and former members of the Texas Women's Track & Field team take to the track this Thursday-Sunday, June 20-23, at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. The Longhorns will be competing for the opportunity to represent their country at the IAAF World Championships and the Pan American Junior Championships.
Scheduled to contend among senior competitors at the U.S. outdoor meet are current Longhorns Shanay Briscoe (high jump), Kendra Chambers (800 meters), Chalonda Goodman (200m) and Briana Nelson (400m). In addition, seven Texas Exes in Alexandria Anderson (100m, 200m), Chauntae Bayne (100m, 200m), Michelle Carter (shot put), Marshevet Hooker (100m), Bianca Knight (100m, 200m), Sanya Richards-Ross (400m) and Moushaumi Robinson (400m) will be competing.
All will be looking to qualify on behalf of the U.S. for the IAAF world outdoor meet, which will take place August 10-18 in Moscow, Russia, by finishing in the top three in their respective events.
Courtney Okolo (400m) and Melissa Gonzalez (400m hurdles), both of whom just completed their freshman campaigns at Texas, will compete in the USA junior meet alongside some of the top athletes in the nation ages 16-19. The top two finishers in each event will advance to the 2013 Pan American junior meet August 23-25 in Medellin, Colombia.
Also in action this week will be current Horn Danielle Dowie, who will seek the right to represent Jamaica at the World Championships in the 400m hurdles when she competes at Jamaica's National Senior Championships June 20-21 in Kingston.
Fans can follow USA Championships action on ESPN2 (Friday) or the NBC family of networks (Saturday and Sunday). Portions of the meet not covered live on TV can be viewed on USATF.TV, which will be launched this week.
