Jeffrey Garrison put us onto Will Hills, former Rancho Verde HS and Riverside CC sprinter, now at Eastern Michigan University, doing a fine job in the sprints there . At the Central Collegiate Conference Meet below (1/23) he raced 6.72 behind the NCAA's top time of the year, a surprising 6.54 by Johnie Drake (Central Michigan), with the 6.72 an NCAA provisional qualifying time. Provisional time means if not enough folks make the Automatic Qualifier of 6.62 for the NCAA Championships they go farther down the list and take some from the provisional list. In the 200 Hills was a fine 21.56, and closed out the day on Eastern's 3:18.42 4x400 relay winners!!
