On the women's side, the 'Lopes have seven automatic qualifiers, led by Shavine Hodges with the second-fastest 100-meter dash and third-fastest 200-meter dash. Samantha Bogatz owns the third-best time in the women's 100-meter dash. The 4x100-meter relay and 4x400-meter relay squads own the third- and second-fastest marks, respectively. Finally, Amy Hop has the fourth-best pole vault in the nation.
