The first field event completed was in the morning with the women's javelin which the freshmen duo Kyeese Hollands and Leah Howard place fifth and sixth, respectively. Hollands threw 50.39m (165-4), while Howard threw 50.10m (164-4).

True freshman Trey Wilson III scored in the shot put placing fourth with a heave of 19.36m (63-6 ½). He landed did on his final throw where he was in sixth place before moving up. The mark put him No. 6 all-time for Tech and as of this week, No. 18 in the NCAA. It was the first time Wilson III has thrown 19 meters or more. His PB was 18.69m (61-4) coming in which was 35^th in the nation.

3 weeks ago here in Waco (top left photo), @trey_w33 didn't have the chance to throw because of weather.

Tonight, he got another opportunity, as he moved from 6th to 4th on his final throw with a new PB of 19.36m (63-6.25) - first time over 19 meters ??#WreckEm pic.twitter.com/W9zndgHp23
