CMS track standout honored by SCIAC

Andrew Bogrand (JR, Portland, OR) of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps was selected SCIAC Athlete of the Week for the week of March 24-30. 

 He finished second at the California/Nevada Championships in the javelin throw on Saturday with a throw of 192-0.

The meet is open to schools from all three NCAA Divisions as well as NAIA teams and there were five Division I (including the winner) and five Division II competitors in the final. His qualifying mark in Friday’s prelims was a personal best of 202-4. This mark qualifies him for the NCAA Championships, is third best in CMS history and 10th best in SCIAC history and is currently ranked second in the nation.

In Saturday’s finals he led the competition until the second to last throw in the final round. All six of his throws would have taken second place and five of them were better than the NCAA-qualifying mark.
