SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Wichita State's Brady Palen completed the indoor/outdoor high jump sweep as the Shocker men's and women's teams finished fourth at the American Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships Sunday at Park West Athletic Complex. Five Shockers claimed podium finishes on the final day of competition.
 
Palen kept things interesting in the high jump, competing against South Florida's Kendell Mosley and Rice's Ese Amata. Mosley, Palen and Amata all cleared 2.07m/6'9.5" on first attempt to tie for the lead, Mosley's third clearance of the day and Amata's and Palen's opening bar. Amata cleared the next bar, 2.11m/6'11", on first attempt to take the lead as Palen, Mosley and North Texas's Ricardo Leyva missed their first attempts but were successful on attempt two. Mosley came back and cleared 2.15m/7'0.5" on first attempt to regain the lead in the competition while Leyva bowed out at that height. Palen missed his first two attempts at 2.15m, but a third-attempt clearance kept him alive in the competition. With only two jumpers remaining, Mosley missed his first attempt at 2.19m/7'2.25", giving Palen an opening to take the lead, which he did with a first-attempt clearance. Mosley exited the competition at 2.19m, clinching the win for the Shocker, and Palen went on to attempt the Olympic Trials auto-qualifying bar of 2.23m but was unsuccessful.
 
The senior from Beloit, Kan. won his first AAC outdoor high jump title, completing the indoor/outdoor high jump sweep and earning his seventh all-conference honor.
 
Also in the high jump, Destiny Masters earned her second silver medal of the weekend, clearing 1.80m/5'10.75" to score eight points and be named all-conference for the third time in the high jump and seventh time overall. Marissa Jensen also scored points in the high jump, placing sixth with a clearance of 1.72m/5'7.75".
 
After placing third in the long jump on day two, freshman Josh Parrish found himself on the podium again, finishing second in the 110-meter hurdles with a personal-best time of 13.82, the fifth-fastest time in Shocker history. He earned his second all-conference honor and scored eight points for the team. Senior Joseph Holthusen joined him in the scoring, finishing fourth with a wind-legal personal best of 13.91, the sixth-fastest time in Wichita State history. Parrish scored an additional point for the Shockers in the triple jump, taking eighth with a personal-best jump of 14.44m/47'4.5".
 
In the 800-meter final, Farrah Miller raced to a runner-up finish with a personal-best time of 2:06.24, the second-fastest time in school history. Riley Vandaveer also scored points in the 800 meters final, finishing seventh in 1:54.63.
 
The men's 400-meter hurdles squad featured two Shockers, both of which ran personal bests to move up the WSU all-time list, scoring nine points for the team. Jason Parrish took fourth with a time of 51.21 to move up to sixth and Bryan Haney finished fifth in 51.50 to move up to eighth all-time. Both Shockers put themselves in position to qualify to the NCAA West Preliminaries.
 
After finishing second in Friday's 10,000 meters, Lucy Ndungu earned another runner-up finish, running 16.46.49 in the 5,000 meters to earn her second all-conference honor of the weekend.
 
In the triple jump, Chidera Okoro jumped the 10^th-best mark int Shocker history to place sixth and score three points. She jumped farther than her previous personal best on three of her attempts, including her best of the day, 12.59m/41'3.75".
 
Both Shocker squads outperformed their projections, finishing fourth in the men's and women's team competitions after ranking fifth on the form charts going into the meet.
 
The Wichita State men scored 90 points behind South Florida's 217, Charlotte's 143 and Rice's 105, and a disqualification of UTSA's first-place finisher in the 400 meters nullified his 10 points as the Shockers beat UTSA out for the fourth-place spot by just nine points.
 
The Shocker women scored 69 points with just three points separating fourth from seventh in an incredibly tight team competition where every point mattered. Charlotte took the team title with 142 points in its first AAC Outdoor Championships since joining the conference, Rice took second with 122 points and South Florida placed third with 76 points. Wichita State recorded its highest women's team finish since 2021.
