EUGENE, Ore. --- UC Irvine's Lloyd Sicard capped a strong sophomore season in the semifinals of the 110-meter hurdles at the NCAA Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Ore., Wednesday.
The 2015 Big West Conference champion finished sixth in his heat and 17th overall with a time of 13.75 seconds, which did not qualify him for Friday's final.
He was the program's first representative at the NCAA Championships since 2012, when Charles Jock won the 800-meter title.
Sicard broke his own school record with a time of 13.60 seconds in placing second at the NCAA West Preliminary Round in Austin, Texas, May 30. He passed his previous school mark of 13.79 that he recorded at the adidas/Steve Scott Invitational May 2, eclipsing the former school record of 13.80 that had been set by Stan Longino 32 years before in 1983.
Sicard won the Big West Conference title in the 110 hurdles at Riverside May 16. He placed first in the event in four meets this season and was named Big West Athlete of the Week three times.
