NCAA Men's Hammer Rankings Vol. 10: Championships Preview
Enetering last year's NCAA Championships, Jake Dunkleberger (Auburn) had not beaten Cory Martin (Auburn) all season. In fact, Cory Martin had only lost to another collegiate thrower once in the season. However, that didn't matter as Jake Dunkleberge came through in the final to win the NCAA title. That situation is eerily similar. Cory Martin has not lost the entire season and will be looking to continue that streak this week. His prospects for this season looks much better. Last summer, Martin entered the meet with several other throwers close behind him. This year, he has dominated others, with few coming within ten feet of him. Baring a repeat of last season, Martin should win his first NCAA outdoor title.
After Martin, the competition is close. Many throwers have been in the 67 to 70 meter range this season, with few being very consistent. This is where Jake Dunkleberger's experience will come in handy. Egor Agafonov (Kansas) also seems to be peaking at the right time and should improve on his fourth place finish from last season. Returning finalist Simon Wardhaugh (Boise State) is undefeated this season will also be in the mix.
