Wisconsin Oshkosh has always been one of the top NCAA Division III schools for the hammer throw, but they showed a new level of dominance at last weekend's NCAA Division III Championships by taking first and second place in both the men's and women's competitions.

Junior Pete Delzer (Wisconsin-Oshkosh) threw a personal best to win the men's title over the weekend. Delzer entered the competition seeded first, but was less than a meter ahead of teammate Den Ludtke (Wisconsin-Oshkosh) and Michael Lihrman (Wisconsin-Stout). After a first round foul he threw his new best in the sound round and continued to have all of his legal throwers land further than the competition. Ludtke place second, and Lihrman was in third for much of the competition until he was passed by Greg Raimondi (Carthage) in the fifth round.

The top seed also won the women's competition. Alexia Child (Wisconsin-Oshkosh) briefly sat in second after the first round, but then took the lead and finished with both a personal best of 60.21 meters and a win by more than ten feet. Samantha Loew (Wisconsin-Oshkosh) and Amina Avril (Williams) both also threw personal bests for second and third respectively.
