Quad Test

This Friday the track team will hold it's annual quad test. This is the first of two quad tests we will have this fall. The quad test consists of standing broad jump, 2 foot triple jump, over head shot put and a 30 meter sprint. The throwers usually do really well and hopefully we can sweep the top couple of places. I will post video and results of the test on Friday.

BYU THROWERS RANKED #4 IN THE NCAA

According to Tony Dziepak "THE THROWERS PAGE" we are ranked as the fourth best throwing program in the NCAA last year. On his website (http://throwerspage.110mb.com/) he explains the formula for determining the rankings. I have no doubt we can do better next year! Here is the top ten rankings..
