SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- University of Cincinnati track and field standouts Chandler Groves and Renee Hein finished competition at the preliminaries of the 2006 NCAA Track and Field Championships on Wednesday, June 7, at the A.G. Spanos Sports Complex.
Hein, who finished second at the BIG EAST Championships in the high jump, cleared 5' 8-1/2", which left her 19th in the nation.
Groves fouled on each of his three attempts, diqualifying him from contention. His season-best leap of 25' 0" would have placed seventh in the prelims.
The Bearcats wrapped up their first year of BIG EAST competition with two conference champs and seven All-BIG EAST selections. Nine Bearcats qualified for NCAA regional competition, with Groves and Hein moving on to the NCAA Championships.
