McCrea will not throw at NCAA Outdoor Championships
Oregon javelin thrower Ashley McCrea has told the Emerald that she will not throw at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships (June 10-13, Fayetteville, Ark.) because of ligament damage to her plant leg.
McCrea tore her anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and meniscus during the NCAA West Regionals, when she went down after attempting her second throw. Able to continue walking, McCrea continued the competition but did not throw further than her first attempt. She finished eighth in the regional but was an at-large qualifier for nationals.
McCrea threw a personal-best of 172 feet, 2 inches during the Oregon Preview, the 12th-best throw in the nation this year.
