Villanova Sends 19 Athletes to NCAA East Regional

Seven men and twelve women will represent Villanova at the 2012 NCAA Track and Field East Regional, to take place at the University of North Florida, May 24-26. Because of the meet schedule and her participation at the Canadian Olympic Trials, Sheila Reid will not attempt to repeat the historic 1500/5000 double she won in 2011, but will concentrate this year solely on the 5000 meters.
