McKade Jelinek -- Sophomore -- Marion, Iowa / Linn-Mar HS -- Throws

 

Jelinek had three season-best throws in all three events he competed in at the UW-Platteville Invitational this past weekend. In the discus he threw 51.95m (170' 5"), which was good for third place and seventh on the NCAA National List. He also tossed a career-best 16.05m (52' 8") in the shot put to finish seventh place. That mark ranks 19th on the NCAA National List. Finally, his mark of 48.79m (160' 1") in the hammer throw was a lifetime best.
