SALEM, Ore. – In one last effort to improve overall standings on the NCAA Qualifying lists, the University of San Francisco track team sent three student-athletes to the West Coast Invitational.
 
Eva Krchova, a redshirt senior from Brno, Czech Republic, came away a winner at Willamette's Charles Bowles Track. Krchova raced to the top of the podium in the 3,000 meter steeplechase with a time of 10:31.26, narrowly missing her season-best mark by four seconds. The school record holder in the event is sitting with the 44th-fastest time in the West, and looks to make a return to the NCAA Championships for the fourth time in her career.
 
Competing in the 1,500 meters, Kate Jamboretz finished sixth in the field of 24 competitors. The redshirt sophomore from Boise, Idaho  rounded the track in 4:31.55. She currently stands in the top 100 in the West, but will have to wait to see if her season-best time will be enough to qualify for the national stage.
 
On the men's side, Sean Gomes sought improvement in the 800 meters. His second-place finish of 1:52.79 came away just shy of bettering his USF-record time.  The junior from Modesto, Calif., picked up his fifth Top 5 finish of the season.
 
The final descending order list is slated to posted Monday, with accepted entries into the NCAA field released Thursday morning. The Top 48 times for declared student-athletes will earn a bid to compete at the NCAA West Preliminary Championships, held May 29-31 in Fayetteville, Ark.
