Huskers Add Four All-America Awards on Thursday

Nebraska track and field’s Maddie Harris headlined a group of four Huskers who secured all-america honors on the second day of the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore.

Two Huskers competed in the javelin as Harris finished fifth and claimed first-team honors, her fourth career all-america award, as she threw 58.36m (191-6). Eniko Sara became a two-time all-american, finishing 15th and hitting a mark of 52.18m (171-2). 

Kalynn Meyer and Kellyn Kortemeyer finished 17th and 19th respectively in the shot put. Meyer went 16.66m (54-8) to earn honorable-mention honors and claim her third career all-america award. Kortemeyer was named an all-american for the first time, throwing 16.58m (54-4 ¾). 

Berlyn Schutz was the lone Husker on the track competing in the 1500m. She ran 4:16.15 for 24th and was named an honorable mention all-american. 

Till Steinforth withdrew from the decathlon event due to an injury sustained during last night’s 400m race.

Tyus Wilson and Desire Tonye-Nyemeck will be the first Huskers to compete tomorrow, taking on the high jump at 6:30 p.m. (CT). Each event has a livestream on ESPN+ throughout the championships, with television coverage tomorrow on ESPN2 starting at 7 p.m. (CT).
