Collins claims RSC Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for Rio Grande (Ohio)
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- University of Rio Grande thrower Zack Collins set a school record in the hammer throw to claim River States Conference Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for April 8-14.
A junior from Newark, Ohio, he won the hammer throw at the University of Cumberlands Invitational with a program-best toss of 49.89 meters. That beat out a field of 21 other competitors and was within one meter of NAIA national qualification.
Rio Grande will compete at the Wittenberg Invitational on April 19.
