Maisvorewa, an All-American 400m season, directed the best inner race of his career in the new school record while ending sixth to pass to the finals on Saturday at 4:50 pm

The second year students Ja’kobe Tharp, Max Hardin and Ana-Liesa Torian had strong shows on the track to also advance to the finals. Tharp won its heat from the obstacles of 60 million men in 7.60, publishing the second faster classification. Hardin ran a tactical race in the male mile, crossing in 4: 04.56 to gain his heat and advance the event. Torian, competing in his first meeting at the SEC, held a better 8.13 Personnel in the obstacles of 60 million women to advance.

Auburn launches had three scorers on Friday, including two who took home bronze medals. The last year student Kyle Brown won his third inner bronze of the SEC of his career in the male weight launch after a 22.24m/72-11.75 launch in his sixth and last attempt. Senior Adrienne Adams matched Brown’s final on the women’s side, occupying the third place in the weight launch with a personal best of 21.41m/70-3. The teammate Maura Huwalt also scored, finishing a fourth with a better mark of 20.99m/68-10.5.
