NCAA Championships: Martin sets PR to win
As expected, Cory Martin (Auburn) walked away with his first NCAA title on Friday. However, the win was not as easy as expected. Martin was consistent with six legal throws, all measuring at least 71.36m. He took the early lead, but his teammated and defending champion Jake Dunkleberger (Auburn) exploded in the fourth round to set a news personal best of 72.98m and take the lead from Martin. However, the day was not over for Martin, who threw a personal best of his own on his final attempt to pass Dunkleberger and win.
The competition was full of improvements. Boldi Kocsor (UCLA) set a personal best for third place. Egor Agafonov (Kansas) was near his season's best in third. Matej Muza (Virginia Tech) also set a personal best to place fifth. Overall, the competitive competition was much like last year, with lots of great throws and lead changes.
