EUGENE, Oregon — Savannah State senior Cameron Hall finished eighth in the 110-meter hurdle finals at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships held at Hayward Field Friday.

Hall matched his mark of 13.61 that he ran in the semifinals. Omar McLeod, a sophomore from Arkansas, won with a time of 13.01, beating Oregon’s Johnathan Cabral (13.22) and Houston’s Isaac Williams (13.31), who finished second and third.

McLeod’s mark was an NCAA meet record, besting the mark of 13.16 set by Oregon’s Devon Allen last year. McLeod’s time was a hundredth of a second off the college record set by Maryland’s Renaldo Nehemiah in 1979.

Hall, a Camden County High School graduate, equalled the SSU school record with his time, which he has run three times this year. He earned first-team All-America status with his eighth place finish.
