Johansson, the nation's leader in the shot put, threw 61-3 1/2 (18.68m) to qualify with the second-best mark at the regional meet. Latimer will join her at nationals after a season-best throw of 57-2 1/4 (17.43m), the No. 4 throw in school history.

Williams recorded a season-best 20-10 3/4 (6.37m) to earn a trip to nationals in the long jump. Williams finished 17th at last year's NCAA Outdoor Championships in the event. "
