Gaylor gets RSC Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for IU Kokomo
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Indiana University Kokomo senior Grant Gaylor hit the national standard in the shot put to gain River States Conference Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for April 12-18.
A native of Kokomo, Ind., Gaylor tied a season-best with a toss of 18.02 meters to win first place in the shot put at the Indiana Wesleyan Invite. That was the same distance of his previous best, which qualified him for nationals the week before under the NAIA 'A' standard. Gaylor currently ranks third in the nation with those throws.
