On This Day: May 29
Year: 2010
Sport: Track and Field

A thunderstorm in Charlotte, N.C. the previous day caused most of day two of the NCAA National Championship meet to be moved to day three. This meant that events scheduled for preliminary rounds on the track on Friday would run only finals on Saturday. This proved to be helpful to the Mules who used the extra day to help some of their bodies that were beat up from events on day one. With the new revised scheduled, there were 34 total events run and the day lasted more than 12 full hours from the start of the first event to the finish of the final event in one of the more chaotic days in championship history. When the meet was finished, the Mules finished in third place scoring 39 points, matching the highest finish in the Janvrin/Pedersen era. The Jennies placed 25th scoring 11 points. 

The Mules made the podium in five events on the final day. Drew Frizzell had his name called twice. He placed fourth in the shot put throwing 58-10 which was second all-time at UCM. He also took seventh in the discus throwing 168-9. It was his third outdoor shot put and second discus All-American awards of his career. In the high jump, Chris Millentree cleared 6-9.5 to place seventh for his first career All-American award. On the track, Anthony Cooper finished fifth in the 400m hurdles running 51.41, third fastest all-time at UCM and the first All-American award for the Mules in the event since 1993. Cooper then teamed up with Darius Walker, Brent Vogel and Kai Roper on the 4x400m relay team and ran 3:10.43 to place fifth. The time was also the second-fastest at UCM. 

For the Jennies, they too earned some hardware. Kayla Muyskens placed third in the shot put throwing 48-8.75 for her first outdoor All-American award in the event.
