EUGENE, Ore. — Long Beach State's Claudine Raud-Gumiel delivered a balanced performance Friday as the heptathlon began on Day 3 of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the University of Oregon's Hayward Field.
Raud-Gumiel opened strong in the 100-meter hurdles, clocking a time of 13.66 seconds to finish eighth in the field. She continued to build on her opening event with a solid high jump series, clearing 5 feet, 5 1/4 inches and 5 feet, 6 1/2 inches before making 5 feet, 7 3/4 inches on her final attempt. She narrowly missed equaling her personal best, failing to clear the next height in three attempts, but still finished 12th in the event.
In the shot put, Raud-Gumiel posted a top mark of 33 feet, 11 1/2 inches on her third and final attempt, good for 23rd place. She wrapped up Day 1 of the heptathlon with a time of 24.99 seconds in the 200 meters, finishing 18th in the event.
