AUSTIN, Texas- University of Memphis thrower Senior Gaute Myklebust placed fourth in the discus at the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships hosted by the University of Texas at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
Myklebust (Sand, Norway) placed fourth with a mark of 59.28m (194-06). SMU's Hannes Hopley won the competition with a mark of 62.20m. It marked the third year in a row that SMU won gold in the discus throw at the NCAA Championships. Myklebust's fourth place finish was the highest for a Memphis Tiger since Nick Brooks placed second in the 880-yd run and Terron Wright won the 200m in 1981. Last year, Myklebust placed 14th in the discus at the NCAA Championships.
Senior distance runner Mate Nemeth (Szekszard, Hungary) placed 11th in the 3000m Steeplechase with a time of 9:05.70. Jordan Desilets of Eastern Michigan won the race with a time of 8:42.64. He was followed by Andy Smith of N.C. State 8:45.84. Nemeth wraps up a brilliant career with the 11th place finish, one place higher than his 12th place finish in 2003 at the NCAA Championships.
