Eugene, OR -- Mount St. Mary's graduate student Brian Sagendorf added his name to the school's lengthy list of All-Americans Wednesday with an honorable mention in the javelin at the NCAA Track & Field Championships.
After fouling on his first attempt, Sagendorf got on the board with a throw over 52 meters. His final throw was his best on the day at 54.23 meters, placing him 24th.
Wednesday's meet caps off a memorable career for the javelin thrower. Sagendorf leaves the Mount as the school's record holder for the event, setting the mark in his freshman year and besting it three more times. The fourth standard set by the New Jerseyite punched his ticket to Oregon, with a 10th place finish at the NCAA East Preliminaries in Florida.
Sagendorf was the first Mount St. Mary's track & field athlete since Kelly Yanucil, who competed in the women's javelin in 2016.
