KINGSVILLE, Texas — Central State University hurdler Juan Scott finished in third place in the NCAA Division II 110-meter hurdles championship on Saturday, May 25 at Javelina Stadium.

Scott, a junior from Dayton, recorded his two fastest times of the season at this year’s championships. Scott won Friday’s preliminary heat with a pace of 14 seconds. On Saturday, Scott recorded a season-best time of 13.79 to finish in third place behind Ashland’s Trevor Bassitt (13.74) and Minnesota State’s Myles Hunter (13.54).

“Today was a great race and I can’t be more proud of Juan for the way he competed this weekend,” CSU head coach James Rollins said. “Juan continues to set the standard for our program. I am excited to see what he will achieve as a senior next season.”
