HUNTSVILLE, Texas – A trio of Southeastern Louisiana athletes will look to improve upon their season marks in hopes of qualifying for the NCAA East Preliminaries at the Sam Houston State Last Chance Meet Saturday.
   
    Junior sprinter Maverick Bowleg, senior pole vaulter Addison Martinez and junior thrower Nicole Delesdernier are scheduled to compete at the meet held at SHSU's Bowers Stadium. They will be looking to join sophomore pole vaulter Devin King, senior high jumper Clarence Robinson, senior thrower Jermisha Frazier and senior sprinter Sharrona Williams as NCAA qualifiers. The top 48 in each event qualify.
   
    "They're close and we just felt they deserved another opportunity," Southeastern head coach Sean Brady said.
