Shocker Brew 6/1: Competing For Championships

Plus: It's a Sunflower State Showdown.

Good morning, Shocker Nation. The Parrish twins continue to dominate on the track! Jason and Josh Parrish both qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships on Day 3 of the West Preliminaries, each breaking their own school records in the process.

Jason clocked 49.16 in the 400-meter hurdles, marking the third-fastest time of the day, to shave .01 off his program mark. Josh won his 110-meter hurdles quarterfinal in 13.17, the second-fastest time of the day, adding a second event to his Eugene itinerary after qualifying in the long jump on Day 1. Tyler Carroll also turned in a strong showing with a personal-best 13.70 in the 110 hurdles to finish 18th after entering seeded 42nd.

What else are we mixing into today’s piping hot edition of the Shocker Brew? Find out below!
