Day 2: The Weight Throw

On Day 2, the weight throw was held at Walker Pavilion, up the street from Randal Tyson Stadium.  I think it's safe to say that Florida totally dominated this event.  We took 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th for a total of 30 out of 39 possible points!  Merilyn was the big surprise of the day.  She only qualified for the meet last week, came in ranked 10th, and shocked everybody with a big PR to take 6th.
