NCAA Women's Hammer Rankings Vol. 7
Despite a drop in distance over the weekend, Eva Orban (USC) maintains her top position. In a meet where you win by 50 feet, it can hardly be expected to focus on that competition. Indeed, Orban trained through the meet and passed on her final five attempts. Brittany Riley (Southern Illinois), threw great again over the weekend and proved that she is still considered a favorite to win nationals. Jessica Pressley (Arizona State) and Loren Groves (Kansas State) both moved up the rankings this week after improvements last weekend.

Results for the Weekend of 5/03/08
While the top throwers stood their ground, there were tons of other improvements this past weekend. Jessica Pressley (Arizona State) had the one of the biggest improvements of the weekend. The senior improved her personal best by ten feet to move into third on the national list. Loren Groves (Kansas State) also improved by more than five feet over the weekend, while Kate Burton (Wyoming) and McKenzie Garberg (Washington State) also improved by nearly ten feet. Eva Orban (USC) also threw this weekend, but just took one throw to secure a win at the USC/UCLA dual meet before passing on her final five attempts.
On the men's side, Simon Wardhaugh (Boise State), Egor Agafonov (Kansas) and Matej Muza (Virginia Tech) produced the top marks of the weekend and continued their consistent seasons. Sevral others, however, made significant improvements. After starting off the season slow, Jarrod Stevens (Boise State) threw a personal best of 66.77m (219-01). Two other notable improvements were notched by Greg Watson (Southern Utah) and freshman Dimitrios Fylladitakis (UTEP).

NCAA Men's Hammer Rankings Vol. 5
This week's biggest change is the absence of Walter Henning (North Carolina). Henning announced that he will not be competing for the remainder of the season after deciding to transfer to LSU. Had he planned on completing the season, he likely would have moved way up the rankings after easily beating Matej Muza to win the ACC Championships this past weekend. Simon Wardhaugh also moved up this week after winning the Mt. SAC Relays collegiate division.

Walter Henning to Transfer to LSU
Walter Henning (North Carolina) has announced his decision to transfer to LSU next season. Henning has impressed followers of the sport by a spectacular freshman campaign. In March, Henning placed third at the NCAA Indoor Championships. This past weekend he won the ACC Outdoor Championships and has the fourth best mark in the nation at 68.71 meters. Shortly after the NCAA Indoor Championships we announced that Henning was looking at transferring from North Carolina. He made his decision final this weekend and has received a relasefrom North Carolina, thereby allowing him to compete next season without needing to sit out a year.
At LSU, Henning will be coached by first-year coach Derek Yush. Yush previously coached at the University of Rhode Island and has found quick success at LSU. Junior Rabun Fox has returned from an injury plagued 2007 season to improve his personal best by more than five meters to 65.81 meters. Coach Yush's wife, Kristal Yush, is also having a great season and placed second at the USATF indoor championships in the weight throw. Also, Henning said he will have a great chance to compete for a NCAA team championship while at LSU.
On a related note, Henning will not be competing at the NCAA Outdoor Championships this season. Last weekend's ACC Championships was his last meet of the year with the 16-pound hammer and he will now focus on training with the 6-kilogram hammer in preparation for this summer's IAAF World Junior Championships in Poland. He will debut with the 6-kilogram hammer next month.
