SFA duo takes on Wednesday’s national semifinals in Eugene eyeing advancement to Friday’s finals
NACOGDOCHES, Texas – Two Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks are set to take a big swing at a national title on Wednesday afternoon in the Pacific Northwest. Two-time Southland Conference 400mH specialist Jarvis Anderson and first-year All-SLC 800m standout Keyshawn Garcia are tuned up and ready for action in the national semifinals from inside famed Hayward Field in TrackTown USA. Live coverage links, including live results and ESPN/ESPN2 coverage of the action from Eugene, are available at www.SFAjacks.com.

HOW THEY GOT TO EUGENE
West Regional
Anderson | 400mH
F: 9th of 23 OVR | 2nd of 7 HEAT 2 | 49.86 (Program Record)
P: 17th of 48 OVR | 4th of 8 HEAT 2 | 50.77
The two fastest men's 400m hurdles times ever clocked by a Lumberjack have occurred in the last two weeks. Anderson bettered his previous program record by shaving .13 seconds to finish ninth overall and second in Friday's second heat to punch his national championship ticket.
Garcia | 800m
F: 9th of 24 OVR | 5th of 8 HEAT 1 | 1:46.54 (Program Record)
P: 23rd of 27 OVR | 2nd of 7 HEAT 5 | 1:48.30
Garcia placed fifth in a Power 4-heavy opening heat with a new personal best and program record time of 1:46.54. That competition aided the first-year Lumberjack who posted the second-fastest time among the remaining 800m runners that did not place in the top three of a heat. Six of the eight runners in heat one punched their tickets to the national championship.
