Chanelle Price posts automatic NCAA Indoor qualifying time in the 800

FROM KEITH GROLLER

Easton High graduate and University of Tennessee track star Chanelle Price made her mark at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational at The Armory in New York City on Saturday.

Price gave the Lady Volunteers their third entry into the 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships, reeling off an automatic-qualifying time of 2:04.25 in the championship division of the women’s 800 meters. Price wound up third behind BYU’s Nachelle Mackie (2:03.56) and Katie Palmer (2:03.79).

Price, sixth at last year’s national meet, delivered the fastest regular-season 800 readout of her career. She will join UT's Annie Alexander (shot put) and UT’s distance medley relay team at NCAA Indoors, which will be held in Nampa, Idaho, on March 9-10.

Price runs the opening leg on the Tennessee DMR, collaborating with senior Ellen Wortham, Snapp and senior Brittany Sheffey.

“Chanelle set the race up well, and she came out with an automatic qualifying time,” UT Director of Track & Field J.J. Clark said. “It was good to see her run her fastest time outside NCAAs or SECs and auto this early, so she’s progressing. Obviously, we want to win, and we’ll work the kinks out to make sure she’s able to respond when it’s time.”

    I've been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
