FRESNO, Calif. – With the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships underway at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., Fresno State will have three women compete on Thursday.
Amelia DiPoala will begin the day at 3 p.m. PT in the hammer. Attention will then shift to the javelin where Harriette Mortlock will take to the runway at 6:45 p.m. Jordyn Bryant will be the final Bulldog to throw as she competes in the shot put at 7:40 p.m.
Bryant will also be in action on Saturday at 2:05 p.m. in the discus.
