EUGENE, Ore. – Duquesne's Louie Liberatore earned a bronze medal in the men's javelin on Thursday to headline three Dukes competing at the USA Track & Field U20 Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.
Liberatore recorded a mark of 61.84 meters (202 feet, 10 inches) on his sixth and final attempt to secure third place. It was the second-longest throw of his collegiate career and marked his third consecutive meet with a throw over 200 feet. The rising sophomore recently became the first Duke to qualify for and compete in the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in the men's javelin.
Duquesne's Rose Kuchera (triple jump) is scheduled to compete at 7:30 p.m. ET Thursday, while Colm Matheney is participating in the two-day decathlon, which began Thursday and concludes Friday.
