WVU Tech's Lynch is the RSC Men's Indoor Field Athlete of the Week
NEW ALBANY, Ind. -- WVU Tech thrower Daniel Lynch continued his high national ranking in the shot put last week and is the River States Conference Men's Indoor Field Athlete of the Week for Jan. 29-Feb. 4.
A junior from Selah, Wash., Lynch won the shot put at the Marietta Alumni Open Feb. 2 with a distance of 16.63 meters. That mark is ranked ninth in the NAIA, and he is a national qualifier for the NAIA indoor championships in the event.
His latest effort at Marietta came versus many NCAA DII competitors, and he bested a field of 25 throwers. Next up for WVU Tech is the RSC Indoor Track & Field Championship Feb. 9 at Tiffin University.
