The North Texas track team will be well represented when the U.S. championships get underway today in Des Moines, Iowa.
Long-distance specialist Silvester Harrison, 1,500 meters entrant Bryce McAndrew and hurdler Steven White will represent the Mean Green at the national meet today through Sunday.
White qualified for nationals after taking third in the 400-meter hurdles in a school-record 49.32 at the NCAA national meet this month in Eugene, Ore. White, who earned All-America honors with that showing, posted the highest finish for a member of the Mean Green since 1970.
White will run in the first round of the 400 hurdles at 4:10 p.m. today, with the top 16 finishers advancing to Fridays semifinal round at 7:04 p.m.
