He also claimed the top spot in the weight throw with a final mark of 18.64 meters, nearly five meters longer than the second-place finisher and a new school record.

At the Friends University Invite on Jan. 9-10, the Harrisburg, Mo. native broke the school record in the shot put with a throw of 16.48 meters, good enough for a first-place finish. He also placed second in the weight throw with a final toss of 16.70 meters.
