EUGENE, Ore. – Sophomore Kade McCall made his way into the top-16 competitors for the men's hammer throw event at the 2022 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon at Hayward Field on Wednesday (June 8).
In McCall's first attempt of the day, he threw to a mark of 67.62m/221-10 and set the school record that he previous set at the Texas Relays (67.56m/221-8). It wasn't until the Boise, Idaho native surpassed his previous record and threw even further to 67.71m/222-1, placing 13th overall and earning All-American Second Team distinction.
"Kade really capped off a great season today with three throws better than his personal best and resetting the school record," stated assistant coach Greg Watson. "That is the type of performance you love to see at the national championships. I am really happy for him!"
Freshman Emil Uhlin ran a time of 11.61 in the 100-meter dash portion of the men's decathlon where he placed 22nd overall.
Uhlin jumped to a mark of 6.84m/22-9.75 in the long jump and finished 17th. He was just shy of his personal best of 6.95m.
In the third event of the men's decathlon, Uhlin threw to 13.18m/43-3 in his third and final attempt and came in 15th.
Uhlin excelled in the high jump event in the decathlon. He placed eighth out of 21 competitors and reached 1.98m/6-6.
Closing out the first half of the decathlon was the 400-meter dash. Uhlin recorded a time of 50.24, a personal best, and finished 10th.
Heading into day two, Uhlin currently is in 19th overall with 3,796 points.
Clocking in at 3:04.33 was the men's 4x400-meter relay team. The crew, made up of junior Sean Wilson, freshman Antonio Hanson, junior Tim Lambert Jr. and sophomore Kyle Gale rounded out the day in 15th for the semifinals and claimed All-American Second Team accolades.
