O’Neal, who will be a senior in the fall, will compete in the triple jump after earning his fourth All-America honor earlier this month. The World University Games starts on July 3 with the track and field events taking place July 10-12 inside The Gwangju World Cup Stadium.
“It’s a great opportunity and blessing to be able to go,” said O’Neal. “I’m looking forward to the different culture and time zone we’ll be in. This is my first time going to an Asian country. This is my first time ever traveling to something like this. It will be something similar to the Olympics.
