Utah State’s Sindri Gudmundsson captured the javelin title with a throw of 77.01 meters on Saturday at the Icelandic Championships in Saudarkrokur, Iceland.
“This meet was pretty important to me because the last time I competed at the Icelandic Championships was in 2014 and I won, so I was hoping for another good meet,” said Gudmundsson, a native of Kopavogur, Iceland. “It was raining and cold, so I am very happy with a consistent competition.”
Earlier this summer, Gudmundsson finished in fourth place with a personal-best throw of 80.91 meters at the Jena Javelin Fest, which featured some of the best javelin throwers in the world, in Jena, Germany.
