YSU senior finishes Top-10 at NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships
EUGENE, Oregon (WKBN) – YSU senior Tye Hunt finished 10th in the long jump at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Wednesday.
Hunt's best jump measured 7.77m at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.
University of Florida senior and three-time First Team All-American Malcolm Clemons won the event with a jump of 8.04m on his first attempt to win his first national title.
Hunt was one of 24 finalists in the country to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
He posted a season-best 7.92m at the Virginia Challenge in April. He also qualified for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships last year and finished in ninth place to earn All-American honors.
Hunt's teammate Hunter Christopher will compete in the 5,000m NCAA finals on Friday. This marks the fourth consecutive season that Youngstown State has sent two athletes to Eugene for the NCAA Finals.
