COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The Eastern Washington Eagles concluded their track and field season on Saturday, May 31, at the NCAA West Regional.

"Definitely a tough meet, but we don't want anything easy or handed to us," said Director of Track and Field / Cross Country Erin Tucker.
 
"We didn't have the meet we needed, but we learned a lot. I told Maddy and Egypt to do what you did to get here, and you will be fine. What they did to get here would have moved them on the Eugene."
 
On the opening day, Maddy Shekhawat narrowly missed advancing in the 110-meter hurdles. He finished fourth in his heat with a time of 13.96 seconds—just outside the automatic qualifying spots—and placed 33rd overall.

"This is farewell for Egypt in the EWU Uniform, but she has more in the tank for sure. Her story is not over. Maddy will be back here next year and he will not be alone in the sprints.  That's not a promise that is a spoiler!!!!"
 
Day two featured Egypt Caitlin Simmons in the long jump, where she recorded a mark of 6.19 meters (20 feet, 3.75 inches) to place 24th.
 
Simmons returned for the triple jump but came up short of the 13.42-meter mark needed to advance. Her best effort of 13.02 meters (42 feet, 8.75 inches) earned her a 26th-place finish.

"Great Year and it is time to get ready for next year! Go Eags!"
