MANCHESTER, Ind. - As a wrestler, Louis Posa just missed qualifying for the national tournament. He'll get another chance throwing the javelin.
Saturday, the Spartan Classic presented by Manchester College, Posa (Tecumseh, Mich./Clinton) heaved the javelin 59.20 meters (194.22 feet) to break a Thunder record and in the process earned a provisional entry to the Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships May 21 to 23 at Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio. The previous best was 178 feet, eight inches.
The provisional qualifying mark for the event is 57.5 meters. He is currently ranked 15th in the nation. The automatic qualifying mark is 62.5.
