2 Mizzou Alumnus Earn Top-Five Finish in Event at USATF Championships : The Buzz

A trio of former Missouri Tigers track and field athletes competed Saturday on Day 3 of the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships with a chance to compete in the World Athletics Champions in Tokyo, Japan on the line. Two of those former Missouri athletes earned a top-five finish in their event.

Both Euphenie Andre and Arianna Fisher participated in the women's triple jump, with Andre's 44-foot, 9-inch leap placing her in third. Just behind her was Fisher with a 44-1¼ jump.

However, both missed the mark to qualify for the World Athletics Championships.

On the men's side, Mitchell Weber competed in the men's discus throw, with his 190-6 throw placing him 14th out of 16 competitors.

Sunday, former Missouri athletes Karissa Schweizer and Gabi Jacobs will compete in the finals for their events. A top-three finish would send them to the World Championships.
