College Station, Texas. - Senior Chris Rohr finished his indoor season with a third place finish in the men's weight throw, being one of four Missouri Tigers to finish the season as All-Americans along with Nick Adcock, Krishna Lee and Brian Hancock. Along with the four all-americans, the men's team finished in 20th place with 11 points
Adcock went on to finish fourth in the Heptathlon, Lee eighth in the women's shot put and Hancock ninth in the men's pole vault, making the medal stand in each of their events.
Rohr's second throw of 73 feet, 4.50 inches (22.36 meters) would be his best of the day and earn Missouri six team points on the men's side, while Lee's final throw of 53 feet, 6.50 inches (16.09 meters) in the women's shot put made her an All-American for the second time.
Sitting in fourth and fifth place after Friday's events, Adcock and Lars Rise were in the middle of the pack heading into Saturday. Adcock finishing seventh, tenth and fourth in the 60-meter hurdles, pole vault and 1000-meter run accounted for the 5719 points, while the 12th, 11th and 11th place finishes kept Rise one spot out of making the medal stand with 5528 points.
Missouri will return to action in two weeks, as the team begins the outdoor season with the first of three home meets in Columbia with the Missouri Relays.
