EUGENE, Ore. – Anthony Barmes and Isaac Basten represented Drake Unversity at the NCAA Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field National Championships in Eugene, Ore. The Drake duo completed their national efforts yesterday afternoon with Barmes highlighting the day and Basten concluding his storied Bulldog career.
Barmes took 10th overall after finishing as the runner-up in Flight 1 with a premier hammer throw of 70.04m/229'-9". His top 10 placing was good enough for Second Team All-America honors, marking the second year in a row hitting that esteemed threshold.
A native of New Zealand, Barmes will now shift his attention to international competition as he will attempt to represent his country and qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris later this summer.
