EUGENE, Ore. -- Washington State hammer thrower and intermediate hurdler earned All-America second team honors Wednesday at the NCAA DI Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene.
Eager, a redshirt sophomore from Renton, Wash., finished 14th after first round throws of 217-feet 1 inch (66.16m) and 216-6 (65.99m) after opening with a fouled throw. Eager's lifetime-best throw of 225-3 (68.66m) was thrown earlier this year at the Cougar Invitational meet in Pullman. His PR mark is the fourth-best hammer throw in WSU's all-time records and the first time in 18 years a new mark had been added to the school's top 10 rankings.
