Kansas native becomes 30th Shocker to earn Outdoor All-American honors

Entering his junior season on the Wichita State track and field team, Aaron True had two goals: break the school record and be a first team All-American.

The native from LeRoy, Kan., accomplished both. After his javelin throw of 254 feet, 3 inches broke the school record earlier this season, True threw 230-6 on Wednesday to finish eighth in the event to earn All-American status at the 2018 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore.

True becomes the 30th Shocker to earn All-American honors at the Outdoor Championships.

"Thankfully, I was able to achieve both of those goals," True told GoShockers.
