Wahl, who redshirted the outdoor season for the Rams, qualified with the fourth fastest time, running a 3:57.20 to automatically qualify for the finals by finishing second in his heat. Anthony ran a 4:36.35 to finish 10th overall and earn a spot in the finals tomorrow afternoon.
Woods, who was a three-time All-American for the Rams and graduated last month, automatically qualified for the semifinals of the 100 meters with his time of 10.35 which was second in his heat. He will also compete in the 200 meters tomorrow.
Anthony, Woods and Wahl will all compete tomorrow, as well as senior Loree Smith in the hammer throw, who is coming off the NCAA Championship where she became the first-ever female champion in school history.
