Larry Brown, sophomore from Oklahoma Christian University, emerged from a field of 19 competitors to win the hammer throw at the Southwestern Relays in Winfield, Kan., an event which draws top small-college programs from around the region. Brown’s mark of 170 feet, 3¼ inches (51.89 meters) was more than six feet further than the runner-up in the event. He ranks second this outdoor season in the NCCAA in the hammer throw.
