EUGENE, Ore. – Day one of the Pac-12 Track & Field Championships featured two champions representing Arizona State, as redshirt junior Maggie Ewen and redshirt sophomore Matt Eckles earned first-time conference championships in their respective events on Saturday at Historic Hayward Field.
Ewen, who is attempting to become the first Sun Devil thrower to ever win three conference titles in the same season, picked up her first with her first-ever Pac-12 victory in the shot put. Eckles pulled the upset of the day, as his clearance of 5.07m (16-7.50) in the pole vault held on for the top spot.
