BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Junior Luther Ambrose came up short in his attempt to reach the NCAA Championships for a second consecutive year with an 18^th-place finish in the men's 100-meter dash final at the East Preliminary Round at E.C. Billy Hayes Track.

A 2010 All-American in the 100, Ambrose ran a time of 10.52, four seconds slower than his time in the prelims yesterday. Only the top 12 athletes in each event advance to the NCAA Championships in two weeks.

Senior Lakeitha Elmore also wrapped up her season with a 32^nd-place effort in the women's shot put. Elmore had a best mark of 14.63 meters Friday and she finishes her career as one of the all-time best in the shot put in school history.

Junior Richard McKay (javelin) will be the lone member of ULM's track & field squad to compete at the NCAA Championships, June 8-11, in Des Moines, Iowa. It marks the second straight year and third time in four years that ULM has had an athlete compete in the javelin at the NCAA Championships.
