When junior Jeremy Postin released the 35-pound weight last Saturday at the Indoor Southeastern Conference Championships, he knew it was a good throw.

Postin watched as judges measured the distance, hoping it would be good enough to win and qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships.

His 21.48m throw was a personal and school record, and it won him the gold, making Postin the first UF athlete to win an SEC men’s weight throw title.

However, that personal record was just shy of the 21.50m NCAA qualifying mark.
