PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Cascade Collegiate Conference will be represented by a sizable contingent of women's track and field athletes at this month's NAIA Championships in St. Louis, according to the final listing of automatic and provisional qualifiers released today by the national office.

The national meet is scheduled for May 22-24.

The CCC has reached automatic or provisional qualifying marks a total of 58 times. Of those, 34 are automatic and 24 are provisional. 

In order to qualify automatically for the national meet, athletes must either meet the automatic standard or be ranked in the top 16 of a particular event. In addition, institutions may enter up to three provisional qualifiers in the national meet. The declaration deadline is Thursday.

CCC team champion Concordia leads the way with 14 automatic qualifiers, and is followed by Oregon Tech (7), Eastern Oregon (5), Southern Oregon (2), Northwest (2), College of Idaho (2), Corban (1) and Evergreen (1).

Concordia's Annie Hess has the NAIA's top mark in the discus (183-10). In the javelin, the CCC accounts for five of the nation's top seven marks, including a 2-3-4 ranking by Lauren Sexton (Concordia), Danielle Clausen (Concordia) and Michelle Klaja (Oregon Tech).
