OXFORD, Ohio - Kristina Bolterstein and DeLana Turner will travel to Arkansas this coming weekend to compete in the NCAA Mideast Regional Track and Field Championships.
The regional championships take place on Friday and Saturday at the University of Arkansas' McDonell Field.

She is a four-time MAC high jump champion and is a four-time national qualifier in indoor and outdoor competition, earning All-American honors a year ago.
Turner, a sophomore from Gates Mills, Ohio, will compete in the 100-meter hurdles this weekend. She ranks 35th in the Mideast region with a season and personal-best time of 13.83, set at the MAC Championships, earning her fourth place.
