Conference Championships Preview: Pac-10 On Top

8 May 2007 at 17:12 - 0 comments - link
This coming weekend will showcase the top conference championships, with the exception of the ACC.  I know I am biased, but the Pac-10 looks to have the strongest conference this season.  My first two years in the conference, the championship was won with throws of 64.21m and 63.66m respectively.  The past two years things have changed.  Here are the top five men with their national rankings:
  5  Adam Midles             SR USC                          69.57m  W 04-28
11 Brian Richotte SR Oregon 66.65m W 04-20
12 Boldizsar Kocsor FR UCLA 66.19m W 04-27
15 Martin Bingisser SR Washington 65.86m W 04-28
 16 Noah Bryant SR USC 65.52m W 03-17

The women are even more concentrated among the top of the national rankings.  Eva Orban led the conference most of the season until Britney Henry threw a season best this past weekend:
  3  Britney Henry           SR Oregon                       67.54m  W 05-05
4 Eva Orban SO USC 66.98m W 04-15
5 Sarah Stevens SO Az State 65.43m W 03-23
7 Carrie Johnson SR California 64.43m W 03-31
9 Jessica Pressley JR Az State 62.33m W 04-28
12 Julia Rozenfeld SR USC 61.46m W 04-28

The SEC is also up there with Cory Martin (1), Jake Dunkleberger (2), and Nate Rolfe (14) on the men's side and Jenny Dahlgren (1) for the women.

As far as regional rankings go, the west also takes the lead with eight of the top ten women and nine of the top eighteen men.
