Hampton closed his career 22nd in the javelin with a throw of 66.33m, also earning All-American Honorable Mention accolades.
Post Meet Reaction - Head Coach Jon Warren
"Always a good year when you have guys at the championship meet. The javelin was an incredible competition, the best I've ever seen. It took over 74 meters to even score today, that is just amazing. Jack continued to gain experience at the national meet, which will help him grow even more over the next couple of years. Ty closed out a tremendous career here today, back home in front of family, with both of them earning All-American Honorable Mention honors. I am proud of both of them for getting back here, and I can't wait to see what next season holds for Rice."
