EUGENE, Ore. – Chandler Ault’s sensational senior season peaked tonight at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, as he shattered his own School Record one more time, and took the silver medal in the javelin throw at Hayward Field. Ault’s runner-up finish is the best by a Husky thrower at nationals since 1985, and was the big highlight of a busy day one for the Dawgs.

 

Ault’s victory, and an eighth-place tie in the pole vault from Max Manson provided the men’s team with an unusual 8.2 points. The women’s events will take center stage on Thursday, along with the second half of the men’s decathlon that includes Jami Schlueter sitting in seventh-place. The men will then close out on Friday where their trio of NCAA Champions—Luke Houser, Joe Waskom, and Nathan Green—will all be back in the 1,500-meter after advancing through today’s semi.

Here it is … the farthest ?? in UW history to earn NCAA Silver ??
