MM 5.19: Maryland dual-sport athlete Justin DeVaughn places fourth in 110m hurdles at Big Ten Championships
This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
While Maryland men’s track and field could expect improvements in the team starting this fall with the addition of Olympic gold medalist Quincy Wilson and other recruits, some Terps who are already on the team impressed while competing in the Big Ten Championships over the weekend. One of the most impressive was freshman Justin DeVaughn, who competed in the 110m hurdles and the long jump. DeVaughn finished the 110m hurdles in 13.
47 seconds, the fourth-best time at the conference championship meet and second-best in school history. The freshman — one of two freshmen to qualify for the event and the only one to make the final round — placed one spot and four hundredths of a second behind his older brother, Vaughn DeVaughn III. Vaughn is a senior at the University of Iowa.
While the reasons behind times for track runners improving over time can vary, and much of it can come down to training and strategy, DeVaughn’s improvement across the season is notable. His first official time of the season was 14. 36 seconds — he bettered that by nearly a second.
