Texas State senior Ronnie Briscoe Jr. finished in 16th in the men’s long jump at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Wednesday.
Briscoe posted a jump of 7.46 meters (24-5.75) on his first attempt. He leapt 7.20 meters (23-7.50) on his second attempt and fouled on his third try.
Briscoe was the only Bobcat representing the maroon and gold at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. His placement earned him a spot on the All-America team. He advanced to the championship round by jumping a personal-best 7.71 meters (25-3.50) at the NCAA West Preliminaries two weeks ago in Austin.
