Meet Schedule
By Matt Paras
EUGENE, Ore. – Graduate student Nate Richartz took to Hayward Field Wednesday night for the final time in an Irish uniform at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Richartz cleared his opening height of 5.30m (17-4.50) on his first attempt but was unable to clear the next height. Richartz closed out his spectacular Irish career with his fifth All-American honor and his third at the outdoor championships.
Richartz was competing in his third career outdoor championship. He was a perfect six-for-six during the regular season meets, winning every pole vault event he competed in. He won his third career ACC Championship in Coral Gables by setting the school, facility and championship record after clearing 5.70m (18-8.50).
