The Flyin' Frogs, featuring their traditionally strong men's and women's 4 X 100 relay units, as well as SWC 200-meter champ Brashant Carter, will attempt to continue their long run of success at the national level when the Fort Worth contingent compete at the 1996 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
TCU has three individuals, Brashant Carter (men's 200 meters), Giesla Jackson (women's 100 and 200 meters), Tinesha Jackson (women's 100 meters), as well as the 4 X 100 men's and women's relay teams.
Men's 4 X 100 Relay
This Flyin' Frog relay team has the seasons second quickest time thus far, a 39.20
clocked in victory at the Texas Relays. That mark, which represents the SWC's fastest
time, bettered the NCAA automatic qualifying standard. Hosia Abdallah will replace
Warren Johnson in the preliminaries, and take Brashant Carter's spot as the second
leg. Johnson has not fully recovered from a hamstring problem. Carter will move to third leg.
Chris Allison will anchor, and George Hackney will lead off.
Women's 4 X 100 Relay
The Lady Frogs posted an NCAA automatic qualifying mark of 44.36 in placing second at the SWC
Championships, the fastest time in TCU history.
This foursome is comprised of sophomore Giesla Jackson, freshman
Cyntrece Spencer,
freshman Catoshia Lewis, and sophomore Tinesha Jackson.
