Marina Muncan Named to Serbian Olympic TeamSheila Reid Gets Olympic "B" Standard at 1500 metersMcEntee Takes 1500 in 3:42.33 & Ward Sets School Record

Marina Muncan today became the second Villanovan selected to compete at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Muncan, 29, who is the Serbian national record holder at both the 1500 meters (4:08.02) and mile (4:31.52), joins her former teammate Adrian Blincoe, who was named to the New Zealand team last month. Muncan attained the necessary Olympic "B" standard (4:08.90) yesterday at the 27th New Jersey International Track Meet in Holmdel, NJ, when she ran 4:08.33. As the results below show, Sheila Reid won the race in a new 3-second PR and Olympic "B" standard 4:07.88 (the Olympic "A" standards is 4:06.00). Also in the race were former Wildcat Carmen Douma-Hussar (4:11.20), and current Villanovans Emily Lipari, who ran 4:14.89, and Nicky Akande 4:20.21. At 800 meters at the meet, Nicole Schappert ran a new PR of 2:04.91. Shericka Ward set a new PR of 12.97 in the 100 meter hurdles, a mere .01 off the Olympic "A" standard of 12.96 and a new Villanova school record. On the men's side, Sam McEntee blitzed a 3:42.33 (equal to a 4:00.1 mile) to win the men's 1500 meters by almost 6 seconds.
