The throws group in the Great Midwest is among the best in the nation with five different provisional qualifiers in the weight throw alone.
 
Two-time field athlete of the week Austin Combs of Findlay has grabbed headlines as an auto qualifier while underrated throwers continue to impress under the radar.
 
Myers, along with teammate Bradley Gallitz, are among that elite list as the nation’s best.
 
Myers had a season-high attempt of 19.63m (64’ 5”) at the Tiffin-hosted Dragon Grand Prix. It ranks as the third-best distance this season behind only Combs (21.38m) and Findlay’s Dequan Lovell (19.64m).
 
Myers won the event with 33 different throwers in the field.
 
Myers’ effort puts him in the top 10 nationally in all of NCAA Division II this season at ninth.
