The throw was the sixth-best in program history.

Track Events – Zach Turner, Doane University

Zach Turner of Doane University is this week's men's track athlete-of-the-week. Turner, a Senior from Crete, Nebraska, posted the fastest time in the NAIA in the 400m hurdles on a windy day in Kearney on Friday. He is the only athlete with an "A" standard through the first few weeks of the outdoor season and his mark is the second-fastest in program history. Turner broke the school record in the 110m hurdles with a time of 13.49, although his time does not qualify for the NAIA leaderboard as he had 7.6 wind reading for his run, too strong to allow the mark on the NAIA list.
