He also automatically qualified for regionals with a high jump mark of 6 feet and 4 inches, which was a career best for him. Daniel Greene also qualified with a jump of 6 feet 2 inches. Josh Crane threw the shot put 45 feet 7 and ½ inches, which qualified him for regionals as well. Josh Hunter easily won the discus with a throw of 118 feet and 8 inches.
