Caleb Wilborn was the first Red Raider to secure a spot in next month's NCAA Championships meet. In the high jump, Wilborn soared over the bar at 2.18m (7-1.75) for a new outdoor personal best. His mark put him seventh overall as everyone ahead him also stopped at 2.18m.
About 45 minutes later, the 4x100 team of Adam Clayton, Courtney Lindsey, Ashton O'Conner and Jacolby Shelton produced a time of 38.82 to secure another spot for Tech. Running in the second heat, Shelton took the final exchange from O'Conner and pulled away from Baylor and TCU for the win. The time goes down as the fourth-fastest in Tech history and it was fourth in the overall standings.???????????? ????????????@cwilborn10 with a new outdoor PB of 2.18m (7-1.75) has downloaded his E-ticket to the PNW!#WreckEm pic.twitter.com/UoWpAyRvHu
