Sam Innes was Mizzou track and field’s lone athlete who competed at the 2026 NCAA Indoor Championship on Friday at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

He notched a sixth-place finish in the weight throw and earned first-team All-American honors with his best throw of the season (74 feet, 5Âľ inches).

This is Innes’ second time being named an All-American; he was announced as a second-team All-American last year, finishing 14th at the championship.

The Tigers will begin the outdoor season next Friday at the George C. Griffin Track & Field Facility in Atlanta, Georgia.
