In just the first meet of the 2010-11 indoor track and field season, senior Ray Lund (Thiells, NY/North Rockland) recorded an NCAA-qualifying standard throw in the weight throw to earn The College at Brockport’s Male Athlete of the Week honors.
Competing against many of the area’s top Division I athletes, Lund recorded a throw of 17.41 meters to place third in the event. His performance earned him a provisional spot in the NCAA Division III National Championship meet, and he was also the highest Division III finisher at the competition.
Lund, a First-Team All-State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) pick who captured the weight throw at SUNYAC’s last year, also placed fifth in the shot put (14.92 meters), the second-highest finish by a Division III athlete.
