Texas freshman Ryan Crouser won the shot put on Friday in an indoor dual meet with Arkansas (in Fayetteville, Ark.).
Crouser fouled three attempts and sent the other three past 19 meters. The best of the bunch landed at 64-8.50 (19.72 meters) and won the meet.
That result earned Crouser an auto qualifier for the NCAA championship. (Last year, 19.72 meters would have finished three centimeters out of second place at the NCAA indoor championships).
Shot put is a pretty good event for Ryan, but not his best. Look for him to vie for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team later this spring — in the discus.
