Missouri track and field senior Skylar Coffey finished 21st in the men’s discus finals Friday at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.<\/p>\n
Coffey launched a throw of 182 feet, 4 inches on his first attempt. Oklahoma junior Ralford Mullings won the national title with a meet-record toss of 227-4.<\/p>\n
During the NCAA West Regional on May 30 in College Station, Texas, Coffey punched his ticket to Eugene with a career-best throw of 193-4, which was also the fifth-best throw in program’s history.<\/p>\n
Bradley senior and former Helias standout Jack Crull finished sixth in the men’s 1,500-meter run with a time of 3 minutes, 47.61 seconds on Friday. Washington junior Nathan Green won with a time of 3:47.26. Just .68 separated Green from 11th-place Michigan sophomore Trent McFarland.<\/p>\n
Crull became the first Bradley first-team all-American in outdoor track and field since 1955. He advanced to the final after winning the second heat Wednesday with a personal-best time of 3:40.51. He came to Eugene ranked 85th in the event.<\/p>\n
The men’s meet wrapped up Friday, with Texas A&M and USC being crowned co-champions with 41 points apiece. It is the first time there were co-champions since 2013, when the Aggies tied with Florida. Arkansas finished third with 40 points, and Auburn was fourth with 35.<\/p>\n
South Florida won the 4×400 relay to close the men’s meet, edging Texas A&M at the finish. Arkansas was third in the event, and USC took eighth to earn one team point. The Aggies earned eight points \u2014 a win would have been worth 10 \u2014 and the Razorbacks got six.<\/p>\n
Arkansas protested after the race that a USF runner hindered a Razorback, but the protest was denied. If successful, Texas A&M would have won the national title, and Arkansas and USC would have tied for second.<\/p>\n
The women’s title will be decided Saturday. MU seniors Kristi Perez-Snyman and Claudina Diaz will compete in the high jump finals at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Missouri track and field senior Skylar Coffey finished 21st in the men’s discus finals Friday at the NCAA…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":130231,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[7208,14879,5270,7,31162,31159,31160,49,65,63,48,31158,5063,5064,5066,31161,9,26930,5323],"class_list":{"0":"post-130230","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-arkansas-razorbacks","9":"tag-athletic-sports","10":"tag-athletics","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-former-southwest-conference-teams","13":"tag-games-of-physical-skill","14":"tag-individual-sports","15":"tag-ncaa","16":"tag-ncaa-division-i-fbs-football","17":"tag-ncaa-division-i-fbs-football-teams","18":"tag-ncaa-football","19":"tag-solo-activities","20":"tag-southeastern-conference","21":"tag-southeastern-conference-football","22":"tag-southeastern-conference-teams","23":"tag-sport-of-athletics","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-texas-am-aggies-football","26":"tag-track-and-field"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
