AUSTIN, Texas – Another record fell on Friday for the The University of Texas Men's Track & Field squad as the Longhorns scored in five different events to finish ninth at the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Mike A. Myers Stadium. After finishing in 36th, 26th and 25th the past three season, first-year Head Coach Edrick Floreal led the Longhorns to their best outdoor finish since 2015.
The Longhorns efforts were highlighted by sophomore Tripp Piperi winning the NCAA shot put title on Wednesday with a new personal best (69-3 ¼).
