The EMU alum posted a mark of 17.14m in the 11-man field
EUGENE, Ore. (EMUEagles.com) — Former Eastern Michigan University track & field standout Donald Scott finished sixth in the triple jump at the World Athletics Championships, July 23, at Hayward Field. The eight-time Mid-American Conference Champion tallied a season-best mark of 17.14m.
Portugal's Pedro Pichardo (17.95m) outlasted Burkina Faso's Hugues Fabrice Zango (17.55m) and China's Zhu Yaming (17.31m) to continue his reign at the top of the triple jump competition. Pichardo won triple jump gold at the Tokyo Olympic Games, but the gold he earned on Saturday was his first on the World Championships stage.
