Results
Wade Shomper continued his successful junior season in the shot put with a sixth place finish in the College Shot Put division. His first throw of 16.42m (53-10.50) was his longest of the day. His next throw went 16.01m (52-6.50). Shomper fouled on his third attempt but his first mark qualified him for the finals. His next two tosses were in the 53-foot mark. The final throw went foul.
Braden Stryker finished tenth in the shot put, missing qualifying for the finals by less than a foot. The senior continued to increase his mark with each attempt and his third try went 15.98m (52-5.25).
Stryker made the finals in the discus, placing ninth. The event started inauspiciously for the senior with his first two throws flying foul. He rallied and his third attempt went 48.71m (159-9), his best mark of the day, and earned him entry into the finals. He fouled twice more until his last fling flew 47.12m (154-7).
Angelo Regec also competed in the discus. He finished 12nd, missing the finals, with a best toss of 47.91m (157-2), which arrived during his first attempt. He fouled in his last two chances.
