Tarleton State Track and Field and Texan Baseball are both competing at NCAA Regionals this week, both with a chance to keep a pair of historic seasons going. Also, Tarleton State Athletics' 35th Annual Perry Elliott Plowboy Shootout will be in Glen Rose, Texas, on Friday.  
 
TEXAN TRACK AND FIELD will feature an NCAA Division I program record 15 total athletes to the NCAA West First Rounds beginning on Wednesday at John McDonnell Field. For the second straight year, the Texans are sending double-digit athletes to the NCAA West First Rounds. This year, the Texans are tied with Utah Valley with 13 individual qualifiers, tied for the most in the WAC. Last year in the Texans first year of eligibility for the NCAA postseason, the squad sent 11 athletes with seven punching their tickets to Oregon. The men will compete on Wednesday and Friday and the women will compete on Thursday and Saturday. All of the track events on Wednesday and Thursday will be prelims other than the men's and women's 10K. In the track sprint events, the 48 athletes will be broken into six heats of eight. The top three in each heat and then the next best three will advance to the next round on their next day of competition. In the quarterfinals, the remaining 24 will be broken into three heats of eight with the top three in each heat and the next best three times advancing to Oregon. In the field events, it will only have one day of competition. In the long jump and hammer throw each athlete in the field of 48 will be given three attempts with the top 12 punching their tickets to Oregon. In the high jump, the top 12 clearances will earn a bid to the NCAA Championships.
