Here's the schedule for NSU standout Trecey Rew's competition next week in the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore., at storied Hayward Field:
Discus final – Wednesday 7:15 our time.
Shot put final – Friday 6:45 our time.

Her 179-0 discus mark ranks 9th nationally.
Her 54-11 ¼ shot put mark is 6th nationally.
The op 8 finishers, and the top 8 American-born finishers, make the USA Track and Field Coaches Association's All-America team.
Trecey and Lady Demon head coach Mike Heimerman travel Sunday, arriving in Portland about 9:30 and driving down to Eugene. That was the only connection available - and with her competing Wednesday, it was not a good plan to travel Monday.
This way, says Heimerman, she will be able to practice both events on site before the competition begins. The venue should be a tremendous improvement over the East regional site.
There, the shot put ring was directly underneath the scoreboard with public address speakers blaring, and the landing area of the discus was about a foot to 18 inches higher than the ring, which means throws hit the ground earlier than they should have and perhaps a few inches would have been added.
Just sayin' ...
