Field Events Day 3 LetsRun.com Recap LetsRun.com Men's Pole Vault Final Rice's Jason Colwich jumped a huge 18'8.25" to win the competition late at night. He took a stab at the NCAA meet record but came up short, settling for a big NCAA title in front of an enthusiastic group of spectators who cheered the vaulters the whole night. Men's High Jump Final Kansas St. senior Scott Sellers won the competition for the second year in a row, jumping 2.26m (7'5"). Cornell senior Garret Huyler finishes his career as an All-American with his 8th-place finish at 7'0.25". Men's Javelin Final In a competition billed as a close battle between three top competitors, it was all Chris Hill of Georgia who won the competition by over 5 meters. Ivy Leaguer Craig Kinsley of Brown pulled a big upset, taking 3rd and moving Oregon's Cyrus Hostetler down to 4th, while USC's Corey White was 2nd. This might go down as the event that kills Oregon if they fail to outscore Florida or Texas A&M. Chris Hill had the lead the whole way, but threw his best in the 5th round, 81.80m (268'4"). Women's Javelin Final On her first throw of the finals, Rachel Yurkovich of Oregon set a PB at 195'07", wowing the crowd and taking the lead in the competition from Purdue's Kara Patterson. Coming out of the break, Yurkovich uncorked three personal-best and event-winning throws of 59.62, 59.53 and 59.60. Women's High Jump Final Texas' Destinee Hooker won the women's high jump and took some attempts at Amy Acuff's NCAA meet record, but ended up 1 cm short at 6'4.75".
