TEMPE, Ariz. – Four student-athletes will represent Arizona State track & field this week at the NCAA Outdoor Championships at Tracktown USA from June 7-10 in Eugene, Ore. All four days of action is streamed via ESPN through ESPN3, ESPNU, ESPN2 and ESPN.
Two of them return to the national stage for the second-straight year, while two make their first-ever appearance. Redshirt junior Maggie Ewen and senior Keyasia Tibbs earned All-American honors in 2016, while senior Kyle Long and graduate transfer Garrett Starkey earned their first trips to the national championships.
Ewen leads the group with three opportunities to score for the Devils, as she competes in the hammer throw, discus throw and shot put. She enters the weekend as the favorite in the hammer throw as the only female to eclipse 70-meters this season. She holds the third-best mark in the discus and seventh-best in the shot put this season as well.
If Ewen earns All-American honors in all three, she'll become the first ASU female track & field athlete to do so since Jasmine Chaney in 2011 and the first thrower since Sarah Stevens in 2009.
The redshirt junior competes Thursday in the hammer throw at approximately 3:15 p.m. PT, followed by the shot put at 6:40 p.m. PT. She will wrap up her week on Saturday with the discus throw at approximately 4:15 p.m. PT.
Starkey will start the week of competition for the Devils in the men's pole vault on Wednesday at 5 p.m. PT.
Gold Friday sets up perfectly for Long, who will be the only competitor wearing the Maroon & Gold in the men's discus throw at 5:05 p.m. PT.
At approximately the same time Ewen gets underway in the discus throw on Saturday, Tibbs will begin the women's triple jump. In 2016, Tibbs finished 14th for a second-team All-American honor.
