STARKVILLE – On the final day of the 2022 outdoor regular season, records were broken in StarkVegas, and multiple Dawgs saw their performances propel them into the NCAA postseason.

Peyton Mickelson broke the school record for the women's pole vault after jumping to a height of 4.11 meters. The performance also secured a first-place finish for the Bulldog. On the other end of the field, Jhordyn Stallworth broke her own school record (15.91m), en route to a first-place finish, in the women's shot put, throwing 0.25m farther than her original mark from two weeks ago at the Tom Jones Invitational (April 16). This marks the second time this outdoor season where Stallworth has extended a record she already has possession of.
