A week later, Fredrick once again took the top of the podium, this time with a throw of 68-08.00 (20.93m), to become the second-best weight thrower in program history. Fredrick's mark of 68-08.00 is currently the best in the Summit League, setting him up to take gold this Friday, with competition beginning at 5:00 p.m. Fredrick is also scheduled to compete in the shot put competition at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 28.

A couple of weeks earlier, the senior posted an SDSU record 3000-meter time of 8:03.10. Larson's program record is currently the second-fastest in the league behind UND's Louis-Lys Fanucchi.
