Baseball’s elimination last weekend ended the team sport’s year at UNC, but there was still one last athletic event on the calendar. Over the last week, the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships took place in Eugene, OR.
North Carolina Tar Heels didn’t put enough athletes in to compete for the overall team championship, but seven Tar Heels competed in various individual events over the past couple days.
The standout performance belonged to Jill Shippee who took third place in the country in the women’s hammer throw. The ACC champion and school record holder broke her own personal best mark and UNC record with a throw of 69.
