SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Chandra Andrews and Kellyn Johnson competed in the preliminary rounds of their respected events at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships.

Senior Chandra Andrews wrapped up her Shocker career after competing in the women's hammer throw event. Andrews finished the preliminary round in 25th place after tossing 181-0. The Liberal native reached her first national championship after winning the Midwest Regional hammer throw.

Also making her first appearance at the national championships, junior Kellyn Johnson competed in the women's 5,000m race for the Shockers. The Milwaukee, Wis., native has held a top 15 national ranking in the event throughout the season, but finished the 5K in 16:45.82, which placed her in 26th, not high enough to move on to the final round.

Although Andrews' time at Wichita State is complete, Johnson will return next season to join fellow juniors Chelsie Baldwin, Kimber Lemon and Mica Land in their quest for their third-straight Missouri Valley Conference cross country championship. The cross country season will begin in early september with the Shockers home meet, the J.K. Gold Classic.
