LONDON – Lifetime Longhorn Ryan Crouser advanced easily to the final of the men's shot put at the IAAF World Championships on Saturday morning. The No. 1-ranked thrower in the world, Crouser needed just one attempt to advance out of the qualifying round.

Crouser posted a toss of 20.90 meters (68-7.00) on his first attempt to surpass the automatic advancing mark of 20.75m. He will be joined by all three of his American teammates to give Team USA a strong chance to win multiple medals in the event.

The final will be at 2:35 p.m. Sunday. NBC will have live coverage beginning at 1:30 p.m. Central. NBC Sports Gold will have a dedicated feed for the shot put competition available for online subscribers.

Crouser currently ranks No. 1 in the world with his mark of 22.65m (74-3.75) from the USATF Championships in June. That ranks him No. 7 all-time.

One more Longhorn will be in action on Sunday as Chrisann Gordon runs for Jamaica in the 400 meters. She is slated to run preliminary heat at 5:55 a.m. This is Gordon's first appearance at a world championship meet as an individual. She helped Jamaica win gold in the 4x400 meter relay in 2015.

Fans can keep up with the action from London with live results provided on the IAAF World Championships homepage located at iaaf.org.
