In the Circle: Indoor Conference Results/Nationals Previews


The indoor season is coming to a close.  Devin Stanford finished 4th in the women's weight throw with a new personal best of 19.34m.  Jon Lehman finished second with a mark 22.68 (second best mark all time at the facility only behind Big 10 Champion Michael Lihrman).  Both of their marks eclipsed the record previously held by Augustana National Champion, and Olympian AG Kruger.  Lehman will compete today in the weight throw, where he is currently the 3rd seed (link to live results is below)  ESPN3 will also stream the meet and re-air the championships on Saturday March 22nd.

Lehman finished tenth with a throw of 68' 7"(20.90m)

In the NSIC, MSU's Chris Reed is a single meet away from an undefeated season after an 8 foot victory over Duluth Central graduate CJ Hamm, now competing for Augustana.  Reed broke his own NSIC record that he previously shared with Joe Remitz of Bemidji State.  Reed also won the weight throw, with a mark of 65-9 narrowly defeating Ryan Johnson of SCSU with a mark of 64-0.  Reed and Johnson will again square off today at 2:30pm in the men's weight throw.  Reed will have a good shot at breaking the NCAA DII National Championships record on Saturday, the current record is 64-11 1/2 and Reed enters the meet with a season best of 65-10.  (link to live results is below)

Representing Arizona State, Tom Anderson finished his first collegiate indoor season finishing 4th at the MPSF Indoor championships.

Congrats on successful indoor seasons and best of luck to those competing at Nationals this weekend.
