PITTSBURG, Kan. - Senior Jacob Morris finished ninth, good for All-America honors, in the men's weight throw at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships. 

Morris fouled on his first attempt but moved into seventh position following a toss of 20.45 meters. That mark moved Morris into the finals but he could not surpass it. His fifth throw was 20.25 meters and his sixth throw was a foul.

Peyton Barton of Missouri Southern led from start to finish with five of six throws going over 22 meters. His best was also in round two at 22.72 meters. 

Morris and the Bulldogs will transition into the outdoor season with the first event on March 22-23 at the Miner Invitational in Rolla, Missouri.
