NCAA Championships: Dunkleberger surprises
In what everyone thought would be the Owens vs. Martin showdown, Jake Dunkleberger came through to beat both of them for the win. After a slow first round, Owens and Martin sat in first and second respectively. Owens then threw a personal best of 71.03m in the second round to take the lead. Soon afterwards, it was Dunkleberger, and not Martin, who responded with a toss of 71.26m. Owens closed the gap in the second round, but Dunkleberger secured the win with another improvement of 71.87m in the fifth round. An exciting competition, with a lot of movement and improvements, produced much better marks than the preliminary round. Six athletes bettered 67.50 meters and nearly four athletes were over 70 meters. Four athletes also threw personal bests (as indicated below).
