Arkansas freshman Harrison Schrage made sure he'll get a trip to his home state to compete at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Schrage, from Portland, Ore., went 25 feet, 5 1/2 inches on his final long jump attempt Thursday night at the NCAA West Preliminaries in Austin, Texas, to assure himself of advancing to the NCAA Championships held June 7-10 in Eugene, Ore.
The top 12 finishers among 48 entrants in each event at the East and West prelims advance to Eugene, and Schrage took seventh. His best mark of 24-11 before his last jump would have put him in a tie for 19th.
