SUNY Brockport Athletics

The College at Brockport senior Ray Lund (Thiells, NY/North Rockland) captured both the shot put and the weight throw with a pair of NCAA Division III National Championship provisional qualifying standard throws during Saturday’s St. Lawrence University Open. After his pair of wins, Lund was honored as The College at Brockport’s Male Athlete of the Week.

Lund used a throw of 51 feet, 1/4 inch to claim first place in the weight throw and earn a provisional spot in the NCAA DIII National Championship meet in March. He also earned a provisional spot in the weight throw after recording a toss of 59’ 10 1/4 inches.

Lund’s strong performances helped the Brockport men finish third at the Open with a team score of 84 points. Lund surpassed his season-best in the weight throw by more than two feet.
