The Oilers have had some must-see talent (i.e. Eldred Henry, Austin Combs) in the throws cage and this weekend, expect fellow student-athletes to crowd around Mungro when it is his time to shine in weight throw or shot put.
Mungro shattered the conference weight throw record and auto qualified again, this time at the Grand Valley State Tune-Up.
Mungro’s latest effort traveled 21.74m (71’ 4”) and is ranked second in Division II for the current season. He is one of just three auto qualifiers in Division II with Tanner Berg (Northern State) and Brent Fairbanks (Ashland) while five total provisional qualifiers come from the conference alone in the event.
Mungro passed the former Oiler great Combs, who was a two-time Division II national champion for his own legacy in 2018 and 2019. Combs’ previous conference record of 21.71m held up until Mungro passed him.
Mungro has been conference field athlete of the week three different times this season.
