My throwing career at ACU with fellow Throwing Factory coach Kai Schmidt consisted of great experiences with even greater athletes. We were fortunate enough to be a part of truly awesome meets such as Texas Relays, Long Beach, Texas Tech, Arizona State, and NCAA West Regionals to name a few.
I’m looking forward to helping young athletes progress mentally and physically to give them the best opportunity as possible to enjoy the great sport of Throwing Heavy Things!!!!
Achievements:
- Texas State Champion and Runner-Up in the Shot and Disc
- College Throwing Career at Abilene Christian University consisted of Weight Throw, Hammer, Discus, Shot Put
- Multiple Southland Conference Medals and Honors
- Multiple-time NCAA West Regional Qualifier (ended those seasons as top 50 disc thrower in the nation in respective events)
- Played a role in #2 NCAA Discus Squad ranking in 2018 and #1 NCAA Discus Squad Ranking in 2019
- Top 10 All-Time at ACU in 3 events (Weight Throw, Hammer, and Discus)
- Spent time as a Graduate Assistant under ACU Coach Jerrod Cook whole training for 2020 Olympic Trials
