RESULTS
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. – The Citadel graduate senior Capers Williamson's collegiate career came to a close on Friday as he fell short of qualifying for the NCAA Championships.
Â
Williamson placed 15th overall in the javelin throw at the NCAA East Preliminary with a top heave of 214 feet, 6 inches. The senior needed to finish in the top 12 to advance to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
Â
Friday's result concludes one of the most decorated careers in the history of The Citadel track and field program. Williamson finishes as a two-time Southern Conference champion, four-time SoCon Field Athlete of the Week and the only Bulldog to ever earn SoCon Field Athlete of the Month honors twice in the same campaign.
Â
Williamson shattered his own school and conference records in the javelin three different times in 2016. He surpassed 230 feet on three occasions, culminating with a career-best toss of 239 feet, 4 inches at the SoCon Outdoor Championships.
