San Antonio - Five members of the Trinity University Tigers men's and women's track and field teams  - led by head coach David Svoboda - have received invitations to the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships, Thursday through next Sunday at Marietta, Ohio.

Seniors Todd Wildman, Emily Loeffler, D'Ann Arthur, Elizabeth Eder and first-year Justin Campbell will compete at Marietta College.

Wildman, of Dallas (Jesuit), earned slots in four men's events: 110-meter hurdles, 400-meter hurdles, long jump and high jump. He is ranked No. 1 in the nation in the 400-meter hurdles (52.36 seconds), No. 2 in the 110-meter hurdles (14.16 seconds), 13th in the long jump (23 feet, 4 inches; 7.11 meters) and No. 2 in the high jump (6 feet, 11 inches; 2.11 meters). Wildman won the NCAA Indoor pentathlon championship  - and was named an All-American - last March. He also was selected as the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Male Track and Field Athlete of the Year. In the 2008 NCAA Championships at Oshkosh, Wis., Wildman placed 13th in the high jump and 14th in the 110-meter hurdles, just missing the finals.

Campbell, of Victoria, Texas (Memorial), is ranked 10th nationally in the discus throw (165 feet, 4 inches; 50.40 meters). He is also an offensive lineman on the Tigers football team.

Loeffler, of San Antonio (O'Connor), is the top-ranked runner in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase (10:33.16). She is a three-time All-American in outdoor and indoor track, and cross country. Loeffler placed fifth in the NCAA Indoor 5,000 meters, and was third in the 2008 Outdoor steeplechase. She was 17th in last fall's NCAA Cross Country Championships. The Tiger women's cross country team, led by head coach Jenny Breuer, finished No. 6 in the nation.

Arthur, of Bedford, Texas (Colleyville Covenant Christian Academy); and Eder, of Fort Worth, Texas (Nolan Catholic); both qualified for the NCAA women's 10,000 meters. Arthur is ranked eighth nationally  (35:58.60) and Eder stands at No. 16 (36:32.86). The two Trinity runners also contributed to the success of the Tigers cross country team.
