Erik Escobedo continues to impress and improve in the men’s weight throw. The junior from Mishawaka, Indiana broke the school record last week with a toss of 19.37m and followed that performance up by resetting the record at the NAIA vs. NCAA Challenge with a throw of 19.70m. Escobedo took first in the field of 32 athletes, winning with the sizable margin of 1.46m. With this throw, Escobedo is No. 1 in the NCCAA by nearly 3 meters and No. 2 in the NAIA.
