AUSTIN, Texas (June 7, 2023) - Queshun Watson-Riggins capped a standout senior campaign by earning honorable mention All-America honors Wednesday at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with a 21st place finish in the long jump.
"Queshun has been such a competitor in his time here at FIU," said head coach
Ryan Heberling. "He deserved to compete on this stage tonight."
