Junior Aaron Falk, just three weeks after earning All-American status in the weight throw for the indoor season, has guaranteed himself a chance to compete for the same honor during the outdoor season. Falk launched the hammer 62.24m (204-02) earning himself an automatic bid to the National Championship meet which will be held in San Angelo, Texas May 21st thru the 23rd.

Falk’s throw is not only three meters better than the automatic mark, but also breaks his own school record set during last season. Falk took second place and could have the top throw in the country when the new performance lists are posted.
