TALLAHASSEE, FL - The Florida Atlantic track team had three athletes participate the East Regional.
In the 400 meter hurdles, Toyria Mattear finished 12th in a school record 59.39 seconds, while Lindsay Glover finished 22nd in 1:01.20. Friederike Feil finished 12th in the 3,000 meter steeplechase in 10:38.21.
"It was a good showing for our runners, especially considering that Toyria and Iki are both just sophomores," said head track coach Alex Smolka.
"We are really excited about the future with the two of them coming back and the athletes we have coming in," said assistant track coach Owen McGregor.
Both Mattear (36th) and Feil (44th) are ranked in the top-50 nationally in their respective events. Both runners also remain eligible for at-large selections to the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
