Davis and Filemyr ready For NCAA Championships

The hope of any collegiate student-athlete is to have the chance to compete for national title. In team sports you have the help of your many teammates to try and achieve that goal. But in individual sports, such as track and field, getting to the national championships rests solely with each student-athlete. At this week's NCAA Division II Track and Field Championships in Pueblo, Colorado two BU athletes did what they needed to do during the season and now will be aiming for an NCAA title. Vicki Davis and Katie Filemyr will both be competing in the Steeplechase with Davis also competing at 5,000-meters. For Davis this is her third trip to the NCAA championships in 2012-13 (XC-Indoor Track/Field), while Filemyr is competing at the NCAA Track and Field Championships for the second straight year. @BUSportsinfo
