“DII National Champion, a two-time ACC Champion, and the Hurricanes javelin record holder, Devoux Deysel can add DI National Champion to his list of accomplishments on his resume. This weekend in Eugene, Oregon, the senior took home the national title and, along with that, a few other firsts. He’s the first ever to win the javelin title both at the DI and DII level, the first Hurricane to claim outdoor NCAA gold since Davian Clarke did so in 1996, and the first ACC representative to take the javelin title since 2006. He led the way for the ‘Canes in a weekend where several other members cemented themselves as All-Americans.”
“Deysel has consistently topped the men’s field in the javelin, a trend he’s set since arriving from Angelo State two years ago. In those two years he’s shattered Miami’s records during the outdoor season. In his first-ever meet as a Hurricane, he topped a 25-year-old record set by Hurricanes Hall of Famer Ed Reed in 1999. From there he made his way to an ACC Championship gold and then an NCAA bronze.”
“But Deysel was not satisfied and came through his senior season with a vengeance. Gold’s in all his regular season appearances; he continued to push his record further. Another ACC gold followed up by a solid performance at the East Trials set him up for another chance at claiming that NCAA gold.”
