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.
