JACKSONVILLE \u2014 Five Clemson athletes earned bids to the NCAA Outdoor Championships from the East Preliminary Round at the University of North Florida on Friday. Samantha Elliott<\/a>, Natoya Goule<\/a>, Tevin Hester<\/a>, Myasia Jacobs<\/a> and Torian Ware<\/a> all moved on to the outdoor nationals by virtue of top-12 finishes.<\/p>\n

Elliott had perhaps the most impressive performance of the day, posting a time of 56.46 in the 400 hurdles. The time was a season-best and No. 2 in Clemson history.<\/p>\n

Hester and Jacobs both moved on in the men\u2019s and women\u2019s 100, respectively. Hester posted a time of 10.12, easily outracing the field to punch his third straight national championship ticket in the event. Jacobs\u2019 bid was her first to Eugene, as the junior ran a time of 11.49 to take second in her quarterfinal.<\/p>\n

Goule and Ware had little problems advancing in their events. Goule ran a time of 2:03.45 and became the first female from Clemson to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 800 meters since 1991. Ware made it a second straight outdoor appearance by clearing the only two bars he had to in the high jump, the last of which was 6-11.75.<\/p>\n

Elliott and Justin Johnson<\/a> both moved on in the high hurdles to Saturday\u2019s quarterfinals. Elliott ran a season-best 13.11, while Justin Johnson<\/a> matched his top time (13.62) in a wind-aided condition. Hester made it three qualifiers for Saturday quarterfinals, running a strong 20.35 in the men\u2019s 200 meters.<\/p>\n
