CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Austin Peay State University women's track and field team will send three athletes to the Georgia Tech Invitational, Saturday, at Griffin Track.

Senior pole vaulters Carrie Burggraf and Molly Bartkiewicz, along with junior sprinter and hurdler Chiamaka Obi, will represent Austin Peay in this event.

"Carrie and Molly are both solidly in (the East Region)," said head coach Doug Molnar. "For Obi, she's 83rd in the region, but just six-tenths of a second from having a shot in the 400-meter dash. Just concentrating on that, she should have a chance."

Burggraf and Bartkiewicz are currently 11th and 27th, respectively, in the region.

"Carrie is at 13-5 and Molly is at 12-11, but I think they can go higher," said Molnar. "I'd like to see them hit 13-6."

Obi, the OVC champion, will have a tougher battle than her teammates to get to the regional.

"She needs to run a complete race," said Molnar. "There is no place to rest when you're trying to shave off more than half a second."
