FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Securing their spots in their respective quarterfinals, Lauren Gale and Yolonda Johnson extended their seasons Thursday in day two of the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds at John McDonell Field.

Without any doubt, Gale led heat five of the 400-meter race in its entirety to clock a time of 52.40 and garner an automatic qualifying bid with the first-place finish. She bested a Baylor runner by .21 and an Oregon runner by .72 in her heat. In the whole field, the time put her eighth going into Saturday's semifinals, which will be ran at 5:50 p.m. MT.

Yolonda Johnson finished the 400-meter hurdles at 58.02 – one second shy of her personal record that sits second in school history. Johnson was fourth in heat four, obtaining the top qualifying time of participates that didn't finish in the top three of the six heats.

Both Gale and Johnson will be in 24-competior fields, vying for the top-12 for a trip to the NCAA Championships.

Friday marks day two on the men's side, starting at 12 p.m. MT with the men's discus throw in which reigning All-American Adam Dawson is competing.
