COLLEGE TRACK AND FIELD Raiders prepare for NAIA national meet Comment By SOU Sports Information MailTribune.com By SOU Sports Information Posted May. 19, 2015 at 8:07 PM By SOU Sports Information Posted May. 19, 2015 at 8:07 PM » Social News ASHLAND — The Southern Oregon University men's track and field team has a chance this week to rid itself of the disappointment caused by a third-place finish at the Cascade Conference Championships, and three Raider women have a chance to solidify their legacies. The 64th annual NAIA Outdoor Championships run Thursday through Saturday, hosted for the second straight year by the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Sports Commission at Mickey Miller Blackwell Stadium. SOU will be represented by 16 athletes, just as it was in 2014. Last year was an historic one for both Raider squads. Eric Avila won the 1,500-meter title, the first SOU men's crown in a running event since 1978, and Stephanie Techler’s pole-vault championship was the first of any kind for the Raider women since 1995. With six All-American efforts, the Raider men totaled 26 points for their second consecutive ninth-place finish. The program's best finish has been sixth — on three occasions, most recently in 2012 — and the Raiders are No. 4 in the latest USTFCCCA computer rankings. SOU has won nine all-time individual men's titles and will be represented in seven separate disciplines in search of a tenth. Three of the four Raider women who competed at last year's championships came home All-Americans, leading to 19 team points and a surprising 14th-place finish. Amelia Maguin is the leading candidate to win the program's seventh title, having been the runner-up in the 400-meter hurdles the last two seasons and toting the NAIA's top time this year. Fellow senior Jessie Rozario and redshirt-junior Rebecca Lupescu will both be making their third appearances. Indiana Tech claimed the last two men's and women's team titles and is again ranked No. 1 on both sides.
