Trinity Track & Field Athletes Finish in the Top 20 Nationally

Box Score

San Antonio - Three Tiger track & field student-athletes capped impressive seasons by finishing in the top 20 in their respective events at the NCAA Championships.

Justin Campbell, George Warren, and Vanessa Moreno competed in the NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships on May 23-24 at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Campbell (Victoria, TX/Memorial), a recent Trinity graduate, placed 13th (of 20 competitors) in the men's discus event, with a throw of 49.14 meters (161-03). Moreno (El Paso, TX/Horizon) was 18th in the women's 10,000 meters, finishing the event in 37:41.52.  Warren recorded a best mark of 2.00 meters (6-06.75) in the men's high jump finishing in a three-way tie for 14th place.

In 2009, Campbell earned All-America honors with a third-place NCAA finish (50.18 meters, 164.58 feet) in the discus. He was Trinity's top men's points earner at last month's Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Track & Field Championships. In addition to the discus title, Campbell won the hammer throw and shot put for the conference champion Tigers, who hosted the meet.

Warren won the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference high jump title last month, with a mark of 2.00 meters, and was a member of the champion 4x400-meter relay team.

Moreno was instrumental in helping the Tiger women capture the SCAC Track and Field champions, by winning the 1,500 and 5,000 meter events. Last fall, Moreno won the SCAC Women's Cross Country Championship, and was named conference Cross Country Runner of the Year. Trinity's men and women won their first-ever cross country team titles, and advanced to the NCAAs.

The Trinity coaches were named the SCAC Track and Field Staff of the Year. Both Tiger teams are led by first year Head Coach Marcus Whitehead. Other members of the coaching staff are Derick Lawrence (also head men's and women's cross country coach), Thomas Dimitri, Emily Daum, Joe Meno, Greg Roberts, and Todd Wildman.

The Tiger men's and women's teams won the SCAC Championships by record margins (136.5 points and 277 points, respectively).
