Track and field season closes with historic finish at NCAA Championships

The track and field teams capped off a historic 2022 outdoor season with four All-American accolades.

Nine Mavericks competed at the NCAA Championships at the University of Oregon from Wednesday through Saturday.

Three of them were named to first teams and held a spot on the podium. The men’s team finished with 11 points, the highest since 1996.

Sophomore thrower Arthur Petersen highlighted the first day with a sixth-place finish in the javelin throw.

It was the first time a Maverick placed in the top eight since 2018 when Alexus Henry won a national championship.
