Texas Sweeps Big 12 Athlete of the Week

AUSTIN, Texas –

Senior thrower Ryan Crouser put himself among the top 10 best collegiate shot putters of all time at the Husky Classic on Saturday. Crouser's toss of 21.28 meters (69-9.75) broke his own school record by five centimeters and puts him at No. 10 on the all-time NCAA performers list. He is the first men's shot putter to crack that list since 2008 when current collegiate record holder Ryan Whiting and Russ Winger, No. 9 on the list, both did so. Crouser's mark ranks him No. 3 in the world so far this season and gives him a lead on the current NCAA season by just under two feet.
