LONDON – Arizona State senior Maggie Ewen will be one of seven Sun Devils competing at this year's IAAF World Championships in London set to begin August 4.
Ewen is the only current Sun Devil competing across the pond, and the NCAA champion heads into the games with the eighth-best mark in the world in the hammer throw and the second-best throw by an American woman.
Former Sun Devil thrower Ryan Whiting takes to the ring in the men's shot put as one of four Americans entered in the championship event.
Three ASU jumpers made the championships in Chris Benard, Bryan McBride and Christabel Nettey.
Former NCAA champion and 2017 U.S., champion McBride took the American crown with a height of 2.30m/7-6.5 feet in the high jump to advance to the meet, while Benard competes in the triple jump having recorded one of the top-five marks in the world this year in the event, and is one of just five athletes in the world with jumps of 57 feet or more in 2017.
Nettey is the only Sun Devil representing a country other than the U.S., and the Canadian record-holder's qualifying leap of 6.92m/22-8.5 feet is the third-best in the world heading into the meet.
On the track, NCAA champion and eight-time Pac-12 and MPSF champion Shelby Houlihan advanced to the 5,000-meter final when she won the U.S. title back in June.
The longest event of the competition will also include a Sun Devil as Amy Cragg laces up for the women's marathon.
The complete schedule of events is available on IAAF.org. To keep up with the Sun Devils' championship campaign, follow @SunDevilTFXC on Twitter and tune into the IAAF World Championships on the NBC family of networks from August 4-13.
