MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay. – Freshman Diego Lyon finished in third place in the 110m hurdles at the South American Under-23 Championships this weekend.

Representing his home country of Chile, Lyon notched a time of 13.98 in the final; his first time ever under 14 seconds hurdling 42-inch (college height) hurdles.
