Deysel Wins Javelin National Championship

EUGENE, Ore. — University of Miami track and field’s Devoux Deysel etched his name into the history books Wednesday as the senior won the javelin national championship at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field.

Deysel’s first attempt set the tone as he recorded a throw of 81.75m, besting Florida’s Leikel Cabrera Gay by 2.70m.

Deysel becomes the first male Hurricane to win an outdoor national championship since Davian Clarke in 1996, and is the first student-athlete from the Atlantic Coast Conference to win the men’s javelin title since North Carolina’s Justin Ryncavage in 2006.

The Hurricanes return to the track Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET for the women’s javelin prior to the women’s 400m hurdles at 9:15 p.m. and the women’s 4x400m relay at 10:36 p.m.
