Junior Adam Nelson's throw of 61-2 3/4 in the shot put last weekend was enough to earn him NCAA and Olympic provisional qualification.
Nelson's throw, which helped his team towards a second place finish just behind the University of Massachusetts, was also best throw this year of all Heps, New England and IC4A competitors.
"It was incredible," Coach Barry Harwick said of Nelson's put. "There are no guarantees, but in my experience, Adam will now make NCAA's, and he's a strong bet for the Olympic Trials."
