Ross is the 2024 NCAA shot put champion and the collegiate record-holder. Chase Jackson (65'11.5") and Raven Saunders (65'3.5") finished first and second in the event.
Also on Saturday, former Duck Kyree King placed fifth in the 200 meter final. UO's Jadyn Mays was eighth in the women's 200 and Jenna Prandini finished seventh.
