Compiled from staff reports

ECU's track elite at NCAA meet in Sacramento
Six East Carolina athletes will
compete in three events at the 2006 NCAA Division I men's outdoor track and
field championships beginning today at the Alex G. Spanos
Sports Complex in Sacramento.
Veteran Pirate head coach Bill Carson,
who will be wrapping up his 39th season this week, has directed ECU athletes
to national championship competition in 18 of the last 19 years.
In addition to senior hurdler Hector
Cotto and junior thrower Eric Frasure, the Pirates have also sent their
4x100 relay squad of freshmen Jerek Hewett, David Rucker and Kevin Thompson
and senior DeAndre Hyman to the event.
Cotto advanced to Sacramento by
earning a third-place finish in the 110-meter hurdles at the NCAA East
Regional on May 27. After booking an eighth-place finish in a preliminary
heat, he shattered his own school record with a performance of 13.66 in the
finals.
Cotto, who has turned in the nation's
11th-best time this spring, is scheduled to compete at 7:50 p.m. (ET) in
today's first round, hoping to qualify for the semifinals at 9:45 p.m.
After earning All-America status with
a seventh-place national finish in the weight throw event during ECU's
indoor season, Frasure will attempt to capture a similar honor in the hammer
throw to close out the outdoor campaign.
While his ninth-place standing during
regional competition two weeks ago originally did not earn qualification
into the championship meet, his school-record effort of 64.34 meters during
the Conference USA championships ranks among the top 26 national
performances this season.
Frasure will open the competition with
a qualifying round at 2:00 p.m. today while the finals are scheduled for
Friday at 3:00 p.m.
East Carolina's 4x100 relay team will
also compete on the first day of competition, with the semifinal heat set
for 6:20 p.m. If the Pirates advance, their quest for a national
championship will take place Friday at 7:10 p.m.
Hewett, who also experienced
significant playing time with ECU's football program as a true freshman last
fall, will join Hyman and fellow rookies Rucker and Thompson on a squad
which turned in a season-best time of 39.83 during a third-place standing at
the NCAA East regional. The quartet also finished third at the C-USA
championships after logging a time of 40.14.

Cleared USC QB says he's rejoined team
Three days after charges against him
were dropped, quarterback Mark Sanchez said he had been reinstated by
Southern Cal, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
Prosecutors decided Friday not to file
charges against Sanchez , who had been accused of sexually assaulting
another USC student.
USC had suspended Sanchez, the backup
quarterback to John David Booty. A back injury and surgery for Booty this
spring limited his spring practice to one session.
