Men’s Hammer Throw

Redshirt Senior Sam Innes started the day strong, with a second place finish in the men’s hammer throw, with a mark of 68.95m. This result did not break his personal best throw of 70.36m, but it would have been the No.3 Mizzou program record in this event.

Garik Pozecki finished 10th with his new personal best throw of 62.02m, while Clayton Kamp placed 17th, recording his new personal best of 58.19m.

Women’s Hammer Throw

Petra Gombas led the pack, with a seventh place finish and a new personal best of 58.06m. Alongside her, Regan Kimrey claimed ninth at 55.29m. Kaitlyn Morningstar took 15th, Delilah Pippen claimed 18th and Tania Duncan stood at 20th.

Men’s 200m

Senior Robert Hines led the tigers with a second place finish in the men’s 200m race, with a time of 21.60. Alongside him, Dillon Leacock placed seventh with his new personal best of 22.07.

Women’s Pole Vault

Anna Vedral placed ninth overall in her event, with a mark of 3.61m. The field of competition Vedral faced today was nothing short of tough competitors, and she will hopefully bounce back in the next meet.
