Smith breaks school record with
nation's longest discus throw; Tigers finish eighth at
Indiana Intercollegiate
Freshman Colin Smith
(Fort Wayne/Elmhurst) made DePauw track and field history
at Saturday's Indiana Intercollegiates in Indianapolis as
he not only won the discus throw, but finished with a
school record and this year¼s longest throw in Division
III.
Smith's throw of 170
feet, four inches, also earned an automatic qualification
to the NCAA Division III Track & Field Championships
at Macalester College in St., Paul, Minn., May 21-23.
Smith's throw, better
than last year¼s national championship heave, broke the
previous DePauw mark of 162 feet, 0 inches set in 1976 by
Mike Kinney. It also was nearly 10 feet beyond the
qualifying standard.
Tiger high jumper Jeff
Wagner won that event with a leap of 6 feet, 6 inches.
As a team the Tigers
placed 8th out of 18 teams.
