Arizona senior Jordan Geist won the NCAA indoor shot put championship Saturday night after muscling the 16-pound iron ball 69 feet, 4.75 inches.
The victory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, capped an undefeated season for Geist. At one time, Geist had registered more than a dozen of the season’s best collegiate marks, topped by his throw of 70-5.75 on January 20 at NAU.
Geist won All-American status in both the shot put and in the weight throw although he did not make the finals in the latter event on Friday. All competitors who qualify for the national meet are honored as All Americans. Bonds sprinted over the 60-meter hurdles in 8.03 seconds to capture seventh place. During the indoor season, Bonds broke the school hurdles record three times and tied that mark on Friday by running 8.01.
