Soniya Jones to Compete at IAAF World Athletics Indoor Championships

KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Western Michigan graduate student Soniya Jones will compete at the IAAF World Athletics Indoor Championships tomorrow morning. The meet will take place in Kuyavian-Pomranian Voivodeship in Poland, and Jones will hit the track at 6:05 AM ET. 

Jones is set to compete in the 60-meter dash, representing her home country of Antigua. She was the only member of her country to be accepted and selected. There are only 55 athletes in the world selected to compete in the event this year. 

Being selected for the meet is one of the top honors for an athlete, as it is the highest level of indoor competition in the world outside of the NCAA National Championship meet. Jones' seed time is 7.41, which is the program's school record. She enters the competition fresh off of a MAC Championship in the event on Feb. 28. 

She will run in heat seven of the competition. The top three times in each heat plus the next three fastest times will qualify for the semifinal. The semifinal is set for 3:14 PM ET on March 21. For more information, visit WorldAthletics.org
