Plummer’s throw led a trio of Tigers who finished second through fourth in the event. Following Plummer, senior Tim Lanni finished in third place with a throw of 15.45 meters and freshman Patrick Park finished fourth with a throw of 15.25 meters.
In the pole vault, junior Chad Faulkner’s 5.05-meter effort earned him a spot in the NCAA Regional Meet as well as a first-place finish in the event. With Plummer’s and Faulkner’s performances, the Tigers have now qualified seven athletes for the regional meet.
The women’s relay teams stole the show in Orlando, earning four first-place finishes.
