Harris, Johansson Garner NCAA Medals

EUGENE, Ore. - Maddie Harris and Axelina Johansson earned medals in the javelin and shot put, respectively, on Thursday at Hayward Field on the second day of the NCAA Track and Field Championships.

Harris, a sophomore, led the Husker women with a second-place finish in the javelin to earn the silver medal. The two-time Big Ten champion and school-record holder logged a best throw of 189-3 (57.69) to earn first-team All-America honors and score eight team points for the NU women. Harris was a national qualifier last year but finished 19th.
