 Each
of Utah State's four athletes who competed in the NCAA Track
and Field Championships placed among the top 25 in the nation.
Late Thursday (June 12), Joel Johnson completed the two-day
decathlon by placing 17th and Kelli Burton finished 24th in
the shot put.
Johnson, who was competing in his third straight NCAA Championships,
scored 7,059 points in the 10-event decathlon. After posting
his two highest scores earlier in the day with 845 points in
the 110-meter hurdles and 790 points in the pole vault, he struggled
scoring only 492 points in the 1,500-meter run late Thursday
night.
Burton finished 24th in the women's shot put with a mark of
48-02.75. That distance was third among freshmen at the championships.
