EUGENE, Ore. – The Mississippi State track and field squad saw four events on the first day of the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Championships, finishing with five All-American titles claimed.

The 4x100m relay semifinal started the day off for the Bulldogs. They raced in heat three of the event and finished in 39.51 to come in 16^th overall to become Second Team All-Americans. It was a lineup of Shamar Rose, Keldrick Edwards, Okheme Moore and Cameron Crump as the anchor.

Crump also competed in the long jump and finished in 13^th with a mark of 7.53m to earn another Second Team All-American badge.

The school record holder, Jesse Henderson, crossed the finish line in 13.97 in the rain to finish in 19^th in the 110m hurdles.

Associate head coach April Thomas continued her prowess, with all three of her javelin throwers finishing top-five in the event. Freshman DJ Jónsson finished as the national runner-up with a final mark of 76.73m. Tyriq Horsford finished in fourth at 75.95m, a season-best throw. Right behind him was Sindri Guðmundsson who came in fifth with a 75.61m mark. All three finish as First Team All-Americans.
