Cameron Miller, who just earned Indoor First Team All-American honors in March, holds the fourth-fastest time in the country in the 200m, covering the distance in a wind-aided 19.93 at the UF Tom Jones Memorial, and he will also compete in the men’s 4x100m and 4x400m relays. Synclair Savage broke her own school record in the women’s long jump at 6.53m (21-5.25) and also earned second place at the ACC Outdoor Championships in the same event. Sterling Warner-Savage, a three-time Indoor All-American, qualified in the 100m after running a wind-assisted 10.07 at the NCAA East Preliminaries.
Aliyah Welter will compete in the pole vault at her third consecutive national outdoor championship meet where she claimed the silver at the ACC Outdoor Championships with a season-best clearance of 4.28m (14-0.5). Meanwhile, the women’s 4x100m relay featuring Taylor Herbert, Kiyah Yeast, Tiriah Kelley, and Synclair Savage comes into the meet after blazing to a new program-record time of 44.10 at the NCAA East Preliminaries, securing their spot.
