Yes/No: Trey Davis Over 56 feet in the Shot Put?

The Gopher track teams are back in action this week with most of their squads participating at the over-sized indoor track at Iowa State. The Gopher men's team is currently ranked #31 in the USTFCCCA National Team Rankings. The men are preparing to defend their Big Ten title in Illinois in just two weeks.

The Gophers have strength and depth throughout the events this year and are always especially powerful in the throws. We will check out one of their key weight men this week with this question...

Y/N: Will Trey Davis throw over fifty-six feet in the shot put on Saturday at Iowa State?

Trey Davis placed fourth in the 2010 Big Ten indoor shot put and was second outdoors. He has thrown 60-0 1/2 outdoors and 59-11 3/4 indoors in his career. In 2011, Davis has competed in the shot put three times. On January 15, he threw 53-11 1/4. The next week, he improved to 56-1 3/4. Davis competed at Iowa State on January 29 and threw 55-8 1/2. He will also compete in the weight throw this weekend.

My answer: Yes

Last week's question was: Will any Team USA Minnesota runners finish in the top six at the 2011 USA Cross Country Championships on Saturday? The answer was no. Andrew Carlson finished 8th and Matt Gabrielson was 19th for the men. On the women's side, Meghan Armstrong and Jamie Cheever finished back-to-back in 15th and 16th. This week marked the highest number of Yes/No participants ever with 47 players making a guess. Sixteen answered correctly and there are now thirteen contestants tied for first place with two points.
