Nairne followed closely with a slightly wind-aided time of 10.51 (+2.3 m/s) for a fourth-place outing. Combined events standout Jett Kinder finished fourth in the javelin with a toss of 64.40m/211-3, a new lifetime best. He got the implement out over 60 meters in four of six attempts including his day’s best in the sixth round.

In an early field result, freshman Hunter Angove had a lifetime-best clearance of 5.05m/16-6.75 on the way to a sixth-place finish in the pole vault. The Bandon, Ore., native began the day with a best of 4.95 meters (16-2.75) from last weekend’s Oregon Preview.
