Day Three of the NCAA DII Outdoor Track and Field Championships brought more success for the Yellow Jackets as Kyla Sawvell earns second place and All American Status in the shot put.
Sawvell started out the day earning a career best mark in the shot put of 15.53m (50′ 11.5″) on her second throw of the day. This throw would be good enough to earn her first place in her flight and a spot in the finals.
“All six of Kyla’s throws were further than her previous personal record coming into this meet,” said head coach Seth Mischke. “It was a great effort. She put together a great series of throws and had a great finish to her 2021 track and field season.”
Sawvell would only be surpassed by one other athlete landing her a second-place finish at the DII NCAA Track and Field Championships.
