Thomas Earns All-American Status

May 28, 2004

         POMONA, Calif. - Southern Illinois University Edwardsville freshman Jamie Thomas (Blue Island) earned All-American status in the triple jump late Friday at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
         Thomas flew 12.21 meters (40 feet, 0.75 inches), a school record, in the triple jump on her first leap to capture sixth place. Stephanie Warren, a senior from Abilene Christian, led the field with a winning jump of 13.21 meters (43-4.25).
         Earlier in the evening, Thomas made her way into Saturday's finals of the 100-meter hurdles by the narrowest of margins.
         Thomas earned the ninth and final spot in the finals with a time of 14.275 seconds, edging 10th-place finisher Brianne Edwards, of South Dakota, by .008 seconds. There was a three-way photo finish for ninth as South Dakota's Diana Scott finished just .01 seconds behind Thomas.
         One SIUE finalist fell short of her goal for All-American status on Friday. Christen Carducci (Powell, Ohio) placed ninth in the finals of the 3,000-meter run. Carducci ran the finals race in 10:02.89, which was slightly slower than her Thursday qualifying mark of 9:59.85.
         Tairisha Sawyer (Chicago), a freshman, missed qualifying in the 200-meter dash by two-tenths of a second. Her time of 24.53 was fifth in the second of three heats.
         The Cougars also have two other finalists vying for All-American status (top eight) on Saturday. Breanne Steffens (Moline) will compete in the 1,500- meter run. Mary Witte (Normal) will compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
