SUNY Brockport Athletics

Senior Ray Lund (Thiells, NY/North Rockland) has made a habit of qualifying for the NCAA’s Division III National Championship meet during his time at The College at Brockport. During Saturday’s season-opening Hamilton College Continental Invitational, Lund added another provisional qualifying effort, this time in the hammer throw, to earn Brockport’s Male Athlete of the Week honors.

Lund, who placed 11^th at nationals in the weight throw during the winter indoor track and field season, captured the hammer throw title with a heave of 53.95 meters (177 feet) to post yet another provisional qualifying effort. Lund’s effort was more than 35 feet farther than the runner-up.

Lund, a 2010 first-team All-SUNYAC selection after claiming the hammer throw title during SUNYAC’s, also won the discus with a throw of 44.02 meters (144.05 feet) by nearly 10 feet. Lund also placed second in the shot put with an effort of 14.16 meters (45 feet, 5 1/2 inches).
