Ole Miss shot putter Robinson-O’Hagan wins another national title
SUMMARY: Sophomore shot putter Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan of Ole Miss clinched the national title at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon, with a 20.88m/68-6 throw. This victory makes him the 17th thrower in Division I history to win both indoor and outdoor titles in the same season. Robinson-O'Hagan's achievement follows his success at the NCAA Indoor Championship in Boston in March. He expressed the challenge of maintaining consistency and delivering strong throws consecutively. Robinson-O'Hagan is notably the first true sophomore to accomplish this feat since Auburn's Edis Elkasevic in 2005.
