Steely Inches Closer to Oregon, Stallworth Throws Shot Put Record
May 26, 2022 | Track & Field
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – In the second day of the NCAA East Preliminaries, Mississippi State's Sydney Steely successfully qualified her way into Saturday's 800-meter quarterfinal after finishing in the top three of her heat. Jhordyn Stallworth ended the day with a program-record-breaking throw in the shot put.
For 16 years, MSU's women's shot put record had remained untouched. In this outdoor season alone, Stallworth has not only surpassed the original record, but has also increased her own mark two different times – all coming since April 16 at Florida's Tom Jones Invitational. Although she missed the cut to Oregon, Stallworth still has one more chance to punch her National Championship ticket on Saturday in the women's discus (12 p.m. CT).
Over on the track, Steely joined Navasky Anderson from the MSU's men's side to advance to the final 800-meter event of the preliminary round.
The top three finishers in each heat of the 800-meter quarterfinal race, plus the next three best times will all secure a spot in the National Championships. For both Steely (Saturday, 6:05, p.m. CT) and Anderson (Friday, 6:05 p.m. CT), it's the last barrier standing between them and a trip to Oregon.
Asia Poe will be the other representative from the women's side to compete on Saturday, in both the high jump (1:30 p.m. CT) and the triple jump (5 p.m. CT). On Friday, Keshun Byrd will be the other Bulldog to represent the men's program in the triple jump (5 p.m. CT).

100m Hurdles: 1. Alia Armstrong, LSU (12.74, Q)
