LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech will have the addition of two Texas track athletes for the women's team during the 2008 season, as announced by head coach Wes Kittley Thursday. Michelle Guzman of Giddings and Shannon Jackson of Houston Westbury each signed a National Letter of Intent for next year.
Guzman, a senior at Giddings High in Giddings, Texas, will join the Red Raider squad as a distance runner. As a junior, Guzman finished second at the 3A State meet in the 3200M, while also taking the bronze in the 1600M with a personal best time of 5:02.00. During last fall's cross country season, she earned third place in the 3A meet and finished 15th at the Southeast Footlocker Regional with a 5K time of 17:54. At the Texas Relays in early April, Guzman finished fourth in the 3200M with a PR time of 10:47.74.
Jackson, a former high school teammate of current Tech hurdler Sandra Iwunze, signs with Tech from Houston Westbury. An 800M specialist, Jackson is currently ranked second in the state with a time of 2:13.35. She is also a member of the sixth-best 4x400M relay squad that clocked a mark of 3:51.61. At the Texas Relays in April, she was a member of the third-place sprint medley relay that ran in 4:05.85. As a junior, Jackson finished the 4A State meet in sixth place for the 800M with a time of 2:15.87 and placed fifth with the 4x400M relay.
