Two University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa women’s track and field athletes, Hallee Mohr and Tara Wyllie, earned spots in the NCAA West Regional, securing spots for next week’s national preliminaries.
Mohr will represent UH in the discus after winning the Big West title and setting a school record. The senior capped off her final conference championship dominating the Big West field in the discus and set a program record with a toss of 58.25m (191-1) and sits in 11th place in the west region. This also marks the third straight year that Mohr will compete at the NCAA West Regionals in the discus.
Wyllie will compete in the triple jump after finishing with the No.2 mark in the conference this season. The sophomore is the first Rainbow Wahine triple jumper to qualify for the NCAA postseason since 2015. Wyllie posted the No.2 outdoor mark in program history at the Stanford Invitational, jumping 12.77m (41-10.75) to better her fifth-best program mark of 12.69m that she posted the previous meet. Wyllie also won the MPSF indoor triple jump title in February.
