Arizona star thrower Jordan Geist crushed his personal best and broke the UA record in the hammer throw to finish third at the NCAA Outdoor Championships on Wednesday in Austin, Texas.
PJ Brown Arizona's Jordan Geist went on one heck of a ride with the hammer — an event he does just for fun.
Kenneth Ikeji from Harvard and Kostas Zaltos from Minnesota also threw personal bests to finish 1-2 just above Geist. During his six-year collegiate career at Arizona, NCAA outdoor champion in the shot put is the one win that has eluded Geist. He was won multiple Pac-12 championships and the NCAA indoor title but has not stood atop the podium at the outdoor event. While he is the odds-on favorite, it won't be easy as he is facing tough competition in Nebraska's Jonah Wilson and Maxwell Otterdahl and ASU's Turner Washington.
