Croasdale matched his shot put finish with a second place in the hammer throw. Hampered by a slippery throwing circle, he managed only a sub-par 168 ft. toes. Northeastern's Bill Corsetti won it with a 187 ft. heave...
Wallin is favored in the shot put, where he has registered a 57 ft., 4 1/2 in. heave. Crimson junior Art Croasdale should be a solid second.
