Arizona State sophomore sets collegiate shot put record

On March 14, Ryan Whiting, a 6'3" sophomore from Arizona State, set the all-time collegiate record for the shot put, heaving the 16-pound weight an amazing 21.73 meters (71'3.5") ! He broke a record that stood for over 30 years, surpassing Stanford's Terry Albritton, who threw it 21.50 m (70'6.5") in 1977. And, yes, he won the men's shot put national title with that toss.
