KIRKLAND – Northwest sends 15 track and field athletes to this weekend's Cascade Collegiate Conference Championships in Ashland, Oregon. 
 
Hosted by Southern Oregon, the two-day meet begins on Friday.
 
Seven Eagle men are heading to the meet, with Corban Phillips set to have the busiest day. Phillips is entered in the 400 hurdles, the 3000 steeplechase, and the 4x400 relay along with Noah Phillips, Micah Murphy, and Jack Kopatich. Kopatich also runs the 800, Murphy the 1500, and Noah Phillips the 3000 steeple. 
 
Dawson Andrews and Craig Lambert are in the 10K, and Kacey Koehn is the lone men's field eventer, throwing the javelin.
 
Eight Northwest women are heading to SOU, with Elizabeth Behnke registered in three events. Behnke runs the 100 and 200 meters and joins Kaylea Hartman, Ellie Calquhoun, and Grace Gerardi for the 4x400 relay. 
 
Gerardi also is in the 800 and Calquhoun the 3000 steeplechase with Samantha Goedde. Anya Bohuta runs the 400 hurdles. 
 
The Eagles have two field events with Gretchen Stottlemyre in the javelin and Felicia Franco in the shot put.
 
NU has four NAIA qualifiers after Murphy hit a B standard last week in the 5000. Calquhoun made the cut in the steeplechase two weeks ago. Northwest picked up two automatic national qualifiers in the marathon last month, with Andrews (1:11:26) and Cameron Nielsen (1:12:24) making the cut at the Everett Half. Andrews broke the school record in the half marathon.
 
Murphy, Calquhoun, Andrews, and Nielsen, along with any new qualifiers from this weekend, run in the NAIA Championships May 25-27 in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
