Hampton University sophomore Reggie Dixon, who automatically qualified for the 2009 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships in the 100 meter dash, will also run in the 200 meter dash.

Dixon finished third in the 100-meter dash at the NCAA East Regional on May 30 with a season-best 10.21 to qualify automatically in that event. He was ninth in the preliminaries of the 200-meter dash with a 20.89, missing the event finals, but he still earned an at-large qualifying mark.

Dixon won the 2009 MEAC outdoor title in the 200 meter dash, running a 20.71.

Dixon will join junior Francena McCorory in the NCAA Outdoor Championships; McCorory  will run in the 400 meter dash, looking to add to the NCAA title she won at the 2009 Indoor Championships.

The 2009 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships will be held June 10-13 in Fayetteville, Ark., at John McDonnell Field on the campus of the University of Arkansas.
