Six Jamaican men, led by defending champion Ralford Mullings of the University of Oklahoma, will contest the men’s discus throw at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon in June following the conclusion of Friday’s qualifying rounds.

Mullings was one of two men to advance from the West Regional hosted by the University of Arkansas, while four others earned qualification through the East Regional at the University of Kentucky.

In addition, seven Jamaicans booked individual spots at the national championships after finishing among the top 12 in their respective events.
