AUSTIN, Texas - UNLV's Halima Decree posted a 26th place finish in the 100m dash in her first ever appearance in the NCAA Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Thursday at Mike A. Myers Stadium.

DeCree, a junior and the MWC Champion in the 100m dash, finished sixth in her preliminary heat with a time of 11.63, placing her 26th out of 30. DeCree, who was scheduled to run the 100m on Wednesday before rain pushed the schedule back a day, would scratch in the 200m dash, which started just shortly after the 100m.

Also representing UNLV at the NCAA Championships is Christine Spence, who will run the 400m hurdles at 7:30 pm (PST) on Friday.

The meet will conclude on Saturday. Live results are available on the web at http://www.texassports.com/results/ncaa2004/.
