The University of Minnesota women's track team continues their journey toward the Big Ten Indoor Championship with a trip to South Bend, Indiana, for the Meyo Invitational at Notre Dame.The 25th year of the Meyo Invitational will feature some of the best collegiate athletes in the United States. It begins at 4:00 p.m. on Friday and picks back up on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.
This week we will focus on the Gophers' throwers with this question...
Yes/No: Will DeAnne Hahn and/or Tina DeLakis throw 50 feet or further in the shot put?
DeAnne Hahn, a senior from New Jersey, is the top thrower on the squad. Her specialties are the weight throw indoors and the hammer outdoors. In the shot, Hahn has thrown over 48 feet twice this year with a best of 48-6.
Hahn is the 2010 Big Ten hammer champion and ranks fourth on the all-time Gopher list in the weight throw and fifth in the hammer throw. Her brother is two-time National Champion wrestler for the Gophers, Damion Hahn.
Tina DeLakis is a redshirt freshman from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. She has thrown the shot at a meet twice this year. She started the season with a 48-9 effort in her first meet and bested that with a 49-7 throw last week.
If either woman is able to surpass 50 feet this weekend, she will move into the top seven on the all-time Gopher list in the indoor shot put.

My answer: Yes
Last week's question was: Will Jim Dilling jump 7-3 or higher at the U.S. Open on January 28th? The answer was no. Dilling was a just-miss as he jumped 7-2 1/2 to place fourth. Eighteen players answered correctly this week and seventeen are tied for first place with two points.
