Gabe Irons had a record-breaking weekend in the discus, tossing a Royal record and NCAA Division III-leading mark of 55.55m (182-03.00) to win the event at the Holst Invitational on 4/22. That throw is the second-best in NCAA Division III over the last three seasons. In the shot put, his final throw of the competition sailed 16.52m (54-02.50) to earn Irons another program mark and the fourth-best distance in DIII this season. He also placed third in the hammer throw with a toss of 53.84m (176-08.00) to finish as the top Division III competitor in the event.
