DES MOINES, Iowa (EMUEagles.com) — Three alumni of the Eastern Michigan University men's track and field team competed at the 2019 USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships Thursday through Sunday, July 25-28. The Green and White's former student-athletes' performances were highlighted by current volunteer assistant coach Donald Scott earning his second consecutive outdoor triple jump national title.
Scott, coached by current Eagles' assistant coach Sterling Roberts, leapt to a distance of 17.74m on his first attempt to secure the national title. His efforts not only marked a personal-best performance, but also secured the former All-American a spot in the upcoming International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar.
