The Villanova men and women shook off some cobwebs and kicked off the 2012 outdoor season yesterday at Franklin Field. The Big 5 Invitational also marked the return to competition for Sheila Reid, who was out of collegiate eligibility for the indoor season. Reid won both the 800 meters (2:09.74) and 1500 meters (4:23.12), well off her PRs of 2:06.36 and 4:11.85, respectively, but a good way to get the season off to a start. Both times were Big East outdoor championship qualifiers.
Here is a list of those gaining qualifiers for the conference meet:
