If the Sun Devils aren't, then

Heinonen said.

jones said it was her main
goal to go under 53 seconds
this season, but believe it or
not. Jones said she doesn't even
like the quarter-mile all that
much.
“The 400 — I halo that race
more than anything." said
Jones, only half-jokingly. “But l
know what it takes to win
now."
That has carried over to the
two relay teams, too. which
Jones is part of. The 4x100 re
lay ran a provisional qualifying
time at the Pepsi meet, and the
4x400 squad has the second
fastest time in the Pac-10 this
year.
Jones openly admitted she is
a bit uneasy going into the meet
as an individual competitor,
and she said the 4x100 squad is
also apprehensive because the
team members — which in
clude sophomores Jones and
Lisa Bedwul! and freshmen
LaKeina Woods and Kegina

potential to do even hotter and
run nn NCAA automatic time.
"We’re trying to qualify, and

Jones, who will run all three of
her races Saturday.
Walcott said he knew Jones
could break the school record,
