7.21.18 | Men's Track & Field, Track and Field
SAO PAULO, Brazil – Samford's Tray Oates will compete in the pole vault at the FISU America Games Monday at the Brazilian Paralympic Center.
Oates is one of just 14 student-athletes named to the USA Team for men's track and field. Monday's pole vault competition is set to begin at 12 p.m. (CT). Check back here for results following the event.
Oates had a stellar career in his four seasons at Samford. He competed in multiple NCAA Championships during his time as a Bulldog. During his senior season, he earned All-American honors in the pole vault in both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Championships.
The FISU America Games are a multi-sport event sanctioned by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). Alternating with the Summer and Winter Universiades, which invite all the countries of the world for the biennial events, the FISU America Games are a regional multi-sport event similar to the Pan-American Games for FISU member-countries of North and South America held in even-numbered years.
The 2018 Games will be the inaugural FISU America Games held in São Paulo, Brazil, July 20-29, 2018. All sports except soccer and futsal will be played at the newly-constructed Brazilian Paralympic Center. Find more information on the competition venues at the FISU America Games here. The event will be hosted by the Brazilian Federation (CBDU).
