Jamaican collegiate athletes in the United States will make their presence felt when the four-day National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1 Outdoor Track and Field Championships get under way tomorrow at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

Thirty-two athletes will be in action, with 18 competing in the field and 14 on the track.

Leading the track contingent for Jamaica will be the number-one seed, Dejanea Oakley of the University of Georgia, who won the Southeastern Conference Championships in 48.92 seconds. She was also the top qualifier at the Regional Championships two weeks ago, where she clocked 49.48 seconds.
