Monday, May 12, 2003 | 10:18 a.m.

Less than a week away from its postseason conference meet, the UNLV women's track and field team closed out the outdoor regular season with career and season best performances at the 2003 Oxy Invitational Saturday at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

Leading the way for the Rebels was senior Tianika Sharrieff, who tied Azusa Pacific's Mireya Beltran for third-place in the high jump with a season best leap of 5-feet, 7 inches.

In the 100-meter hurdles, sophomore Miesha McClendon tied her career and season-best in the event with a fifth-place time of 14.40 seconds. She also placed seventh in the 100 meters (12.41).

The Rebels will next participate in the Mountain West Conference Championships beginning Wednesday in Albuquerque.
