There are collegiate track meets on every corner during April weekends in Minnesota. This week, Hamline University will host a meet on Saturday with many of the area teams. The Hamline men are fresh off an exceptional indoor season where they gave the St. Thomas juggernaut a scare at the MIAC Indoor Championships.
Much of the strength of the Pipers comes from the broad shoulders of the their throwing squad. Led by All-American Derall King, Hamline held 5 of the top 9 places in both the MIAC indoor shot put and weight throw. How will King do at his home meet? Let us know what you think...
Y/N: Will Derall King throw 54 feet or further in the shot put at the Hamline Invite Saturday?
Derall King is a three-time All-American - twice in the shot put and once in the weight throw. King threw as far as 57-7 indoors in the shot put and finished seventh at Nationals with a throw of 54-2. The All-State thrower from Henry Sibley started his 2010 outdoor campaign with a throw of 52-11. King will have plenty of competition at the meet, not only from his Hamline teammates but also (especially) from Gophers - including Aaron Studt, the best collegiate thrower in the state.

My answer: Yes
Last week's question regarding Gopher pole vaulters proved very difficult - only seven contestants answered correctly. One of these successes came from overall leader, Toby Hatlevig, who extended his lead with an eighth straight correct answer.

I hope so. We can always use Derall's points.
