COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The Texas men's track and field team scored 56 points to finish seventh at the Big 12 Championships. After entering the day with 34 points, the Horns added 22 points on the final day, led by third-place finishes from junior Jamal Wilson in the high jump and freshman Keiron Stewart in the 110-meter hurdles.
Wilson had to deal with a driving rain during the entire event, but managed to clear 6-10.75 on his first attempt, which pushed him ahead of Texas Tech's Darrell Roddick, who cleared the height on his third attempt. Wilson opened at 6-6.75, clearing on his first attempt. It took three attempts for him to clear 6-8.75, before the first-attempt clearance at 6-10.75.
In the hurdles, Stewart notched a 13.61 to score six points for the Horns. Yesterday, he qualified second after winning the second preliminary heat with a 13.77.
Freshman Hayden Baillio followed up a fourth-place finish in the shot put yesterday with a sixth-place standing in the discus. The mark of 173-9 was his second-best effort of the season. Baillio opened with a mark of 167-5 and improved to 169-0 on his second attempt. He notched his best mark in the third round before fouling on his fourth and sixth attempts and posting a 169-2 on his fifth attempt.
The 4x400-meter relay team of seniors Jonathan Collins and Tevas Everett and juniors Danzell Fortson and Andre Thomas placed sixth with a time of 3:08.45
Junior Andre Thomas and sophomore Brian Rhodes-Devey added two points apiece in the 400 and 1,500 meters, respectively. Thomas clocked a 47.46 in the quarter, while Rhodes-Devey ran a 3:52.25.
