Kaylee Hinton finished the pieces of a new personal-best in the heptathlon on Friday.
BYDGOSZCZ, Poland – Texas Tech track & field's Kaylee Hinton completed competition in the heptathlon, while Vincent Crisp began his quest for a medal at the 2016 IAAF World U20 Championships on Friday, July 22, at Zawisza Stadium.
Â
Hinton started the day in 11th after having her best day one total (3,309 points) on Thursday behind a pair of personal-bests. She began Friday's competition in the long jump with a mark of 5.66m/18-7, picking up 747 points. Her new total of 4,056 moved her down to 13th as she prepared for the javelin competition.
Â
She improved from her opening mark of 31.21m/102-4 in the javelin to 33.23m/109-0 on her third attempt to score 538 points. Her best throw was only eight feet off her personal-best in the event, giving her a tally of 4,594 points heading into the last event.
Â
In the 800 meters, Hinton finished fourth in her heat and 13th overall with a time of 2:25.17, scoring 755 points to give her a one point personal-best of 5,349 for the championships. It passes her previous best set on April 21 at the Kansas Relays (5,348) and put her in 16th in the final standings.
Â
Sandwiched in between Hinton's events in the heptathlon, Vincent Crisp ran in the opening round of the 800 meters. Crisp got out to a strong start, posting the fastest split of anyone in the five heats at 53.12, but he would fall back to sixth in his heat, crossing the finish line at 1:49.32. His time would hold up as the second-fastest among non-automatic qualifiers and ninth overall in the field to advance.
Â
Crisp will return to the track on Saturday, July 23, at 10:50 a.m. CDT for the 800-meter semifinals. The top two in each heat plus the next fastest two will advance to the final on Sunday, July 24, at 10:10 a.m. CDT.
