Page 4 Personal-best times/distances.................................................................................Pages 5 Records..................................................................................................................... Page 6 Metro State History: • Metro State is in its eighth year with a Division II track program. • By only fielding track athletes and no field athletes, Metro State usually finishes towards the bottom of the RMAC with its highest finish coming in 2008 when the team placed sixth at the RMAC Championships. • However, the limit on athletes has not hampered the team’s competitiveness on a national level, as the team has sent at least one runner to nationals five of the past six years. • Metro State placed 16th at the NCAA Championships in 2009, highlighted by Anthony Luna’s individual championship in the 800 meters. He is currently Metro State’s only national champion. • Nine Metro State male athletes have been named All-America, and last year, the first two female athletes earned All-America in Breanna Hemming and Janelle Lincks. • Metro State’s women’s team had its first national qualifier in 2012 when Kylee Schuler competed in the 10k. • Last year, Hemming (1500m) and Lincks (1500m, 5k) became the second and third female athletes to qualify. preSeason Outlook: • The men’s team returns 13 runners from last season and the women’s team brings back seven from a year ago. • All five athletes that earned All-America or all-region honors last season return, including Darius Reed (All-America, 60m hurdles), Breanna Hemming (800m, mile, DMR), Belle Kiper (DMR), Janelle Lincks (DMR) and Jamilah Rashid (DMR). • Also returning is men’s all-conference sprinter Jon Clarke. • Metro State is coming off a strong cross country season during the fall where the women placed eighth (best in school history) and the men finished 13th at the NCAA championships. • Three of the women’s top-five runners were newcomers in Amy Johnston, Evonna Ramirez and Victoria Alcala.

Page 4 Personal-best times/distances.................................................................................Pages 5 Records..................................................................................................................... Page 6 Metro State History: • Metro State is in its eighth year with a Division II track program. • By only fielding track athletes and no field athletes, Metro State usually finishes towards the bottom of the RMAC with its highest finish coming in 2008 when the team placed sixth at the RMAC Championships. • However, the limit on athletes has not hampered the team’s competitiveness on a national level, as the team has sent at least one runner to nationals five of the past six years. • Metro State placed 16th at the NCAA Championships in 2009, highlighted by Anthony Luna’s individual championship in the 800 meters. He is currently Metro State’s only national champion. • Nine Metro State male athletes have been named All-America, and last year, the first two female athletes earned All-America in Breanna Hemming and Janelle Lincks. • Metro State’s women’s team had its first national qualifier in 2012 when Kylee Schuler competed in the 10k. • Last year, Hemming (1500m) and Lincks (1500m, 5k) became the second and third female athletes to qualify. preSeason Outlook: • The men’s team returns 13 runners from last season and the women’s team brings back seven from a year ago. • All five athletes that earned All-America or all-region honors last season return, including Darius Reed (All-America, 60m hurdles), Breanna Hemming (800m, mile, DMR), Belle Kiper (DMR), Janelle Lincks (DMR) and Jamilah Rashid (DMR). • Also returning is men’s all-conference sprinter Jon Clarke. • Metro State is coming off a strong cross country season during the fall where the women placed eighth (best in school history) and the men finished 13th at the NCAA championships. • Three of the women’s top-five runners were newcomers in Amy Johnston, Evonna Ramirez and Victoria Alcala.
