Two track notes of interest

Cody Fillinich competes as the sun sets Wednesday and hopefully Friday at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

His Wednesday qualifying round, shaving the 26 national qualifiers down to 12 finalists, begins at 8 p.m. in Fayetteville, Ark.

The top 12 qualifiers advance to the finals Friday evening at 7:30. Look for a preview on nsudemons.com tomorrow.

Further south, interesting to note that former Lady Demon hepthathlete Denise Quezaire is the press secretary in the office of Louisiana Lt. Governor Mitch Landrieu. She keeps a close eye on NSU sports and especially track and field, and hopes to come to NSU next spring to see the fabulous almost-new track that she didn't have the opportunity to compete on during her career.

She and several NSU alumni stay in touch, including hurdler and decathlete Justin Wolfe, who lives in Baton Rouge and is still in the rodeo business.
