PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas -- Senior triple jumper Preston Woodard earned his third career invite to the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on March 14-15 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Woodard's jump of 51-1.75 (15.89 meters) at the Samford Multi & Invitational in Birmingham, Ala. on Feb. 8 qualified him for nationals as the jump ranks 15th in the nation. A native of Sweeny, Texas, Woodard finished ninth at the 2012 championship with a jump of 51-10 (15.8 meters) and 13th in the 2013 meet as he posted a length of 50-9.25 (15.47 meters).
"I'm looking forward to Preston closing out his indoor career on a high note," said head men's track & field coach Chris Clay. "For him to be successful and move up in the rankings, he has to do the little things and fine tune his technique."
The lone SWAC representative in this year's meet, Woodard cemented himself as one of the SWAC's all-time indoor greats in the triple jump with four consecutive SWAC Indoor Track & Field triple jump titles.
