NOTES
-Autavia Fluker improved 13 spots from her 2018 regionals finish, recording a 15.86m (52-00.50) shot put mark on her third attempt to place 20th overall. The junior broke her own USA shot put record earlier this season with a 16.22m (53-02.75) effort at the Triton Invitational.
-Christian Ellis finished 24th in the triple jump with a 15.23m (49-11.75) leap on his second attempt. The Gainesville, Fla., native had the longest triple jump by a Jaguar in 35 years—15.75m (51-08.25)—at the Florida Relays to set a new USA program standard; it was the fifth-best mark in the nation at the time. 
 
UP NEXT
Emilie Berge (heptathlon) and Sean Collins (pole vault) will represent the Jaguars at the NCAA Outdoor Championships June 5-8 in Austin, Texas.
