GENEVA, Ohio -- Wilmington College senior Nathen Borgan won the Men's Hammer Throw at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships May 22-24 at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.

He took over first place on his second throw with a toss of 63.34m and never relinquished it en route to the title. Borgan improved on his mark two times throughout the competition, with tosses of 64.47m on his third throw and his eventual winning mark of 64.74m.
