Three Rebels in women’s track nationals

Friday, May 28, 1999 | 10:24 a.m.

UNLV women's track and field athletes Alicia Tyson, Jessica Marable and Michelle Davis are headed to the NCAA Championships June 2-5 in Boise, Idaho. Tyson has qualified in the 100-meter and 200-meter dash, Davis in the 400-meter dash and Marable in the shot put. Davis and Marable also have a chance to compete in the 200 meters and discus, respectively.

Tyson captured both the 100 and the 200 meters at last week's WAC Championships. Her season-best time of 11.22, which she ran at the UNLV Invitational April 4, ranks eighth in the nation. She also ranks eighth in the 200 with her mark of 22.89 at WAC Championships.

WAC Freshman of the Year Davis has the nation's 12th-best time in the 200 (52.75). Davis also is expected to compete in the 200 meters with her provisional qualifying time of 23.14.

Marable is the UNLV record holder in both the shot put and the discus. Her throw of 15.79 meters in the shot put is 12th-best in the country heading into the NCAA Championships.
