SEATTLE (May 13) -- Paul Mach was plucked off the qualifier list in the 400-meter hurdles and will join five Seattle Pacific University women who also earned official invitations to next week's NCAA Division II Track & Field Championships.

Mach (Jr., Seattle, Wa./King's) received the 19th and final entry in his event. His time of 52.91 seconds is No. 2 in school history and he won four of six races this season, including his second straight Great Northwest Athletic Conference title.

Completing the Falcons' cast of official entries in the national meet are Danielle Ayers-Stamper (Fr., LaCrosse, Wa.) in the heptathlon, Sarah Kraybill (Sr., Seattle, Wa./Ballard) in the 800, Josie Lavin (So., Bremerton, Wa.) in the 1500, Ally Studer (Jr., Redmond, Wa.) in the pole vault and Laura Widman (Sr., Colfax, Wa.) in the heptathlon.

Ayers-Stamper owns the second-highest heptathlon score (5024) while Widman (4771), a four-time qualifier, was 11th. Kraybill is No. 3 (2:09.19) in the 800, an event in which she placed fourth at the NCAA indoor meet in March. She also qualified in the 800 a year ago and in the 400 as a freshman. Lavin was No. 6 on the final 1500 declaration list and Studer, a three-time All-America both indoors and outdoors, was No. 5 in the pole vault.

Just missing the cut were high jumper Dianna Grossglass (Fr., LaConner, Wa.) and pole vaulter Allie Hedges (Fr., Richland, Wa.). Grossglass' best height of 5-6 1/2 missed the cutoff by a quarter-inch and Hedges, with a season-best vault of 11-9, came up 1 inch short.

The NCAA Championships are May 22-24 in Edwardsville, Ill.
