Fairchild threw 181-8/55.39m to move up to No. 6 on the school's all-time list. With the throw, she ranks No. 4 in the SEC and No. 5 in the NCAA.
On the men's side of the javelin, Sam Hankins claimed the victory with a personal best throw of 235-7/71.81m. With the mark, he becomes the 11th best performer in school history, and ranks second in the SEC and seventh in the NCAA.
On the track, both 4x100m teams qualified into tomorrow's final. The women's team of Jania Martin, Leeah Martin, Camryn Dickson and Semira Killebrew bettered their season best to claim the second-best mark going into the final at 43.74. The men's team of Ryan Martin, DeVante Mount, Isaiah Teer and Connor Schulman clocked, 39.46, the second-best time of the day, advance to Saturday's final.
Teer set a big personal best in the 200m, breaking the 21-second mark for the first time, clocking 20.78 to finish ninth. Behind him, Mount also set a personal best with his time of 21.17.
In the women's 200m, SEC Freshman of the Week, Camryn Dickson equaled her lifetime best of 23.20 to earn sixth place, while Leeah Burr registered 23.59, a personal best time.
