Juan Scott advances to 60 meter hurdles final at NCAA Div. II Men's Indoor Track & Field Championships

PITTSBURG, Kansas - Central State University hurdler Juan Scott has advanced to the 60 meter hurdles final at the NCAA Division II Men's Indoor Track and Field Championships.

Scott advances to the national final with a pace of 8.05 in Friday's preliminary heat. The finals will be held on Saturday at 5:10 pm cst (6:10 pm est).

Scott will enter the finals with the goal of defending his title. Last year, Scott made school history by becoming the first CSU student-athlete to claim an NCAA Div. II indoor individual title since the program earned exclusive NCAA Div. II membership in 2004. He took home the top spot with a time of 7.83 seconds to edge Pittsburg State senior Justice Burks' pace of 7.85.

Scott, who was named to the USTFCCCA South Region Athlete of the Year earlier this week, has recorded three wins during the 2018-19 indoor season which includes a victory at last month's Ohio State University Tune-Up where he ran a season-best time of 7.90 seconds.

The Robert W. Plaster Center in Pittsburg, Kansas serves as the site of the NCAA Div. II Indoor Championships. Events will be streamed live on NCAA.com.
