Shocker Open Results

WICHITA, Kan. -- Wichita State's Damien Odle set the school record in the men's javelin Friday afternoon in the Shocker Open to highlight the day's events.

Odle's throw of 240-8 /73.36m is the best in Shocker history, passing Trent Mazanec's distance of 238-1/72.56m set in 2010. Odle, a junior transfer from Cowley County CC who hails from Greensburg, Kan., improved his personal best by 19 feet. Last week, he threw 221-5/67.48m at the Rock Chalk Classic which was seventh all-time at WSU at the time.

His throw is also 16th-best overall in the NCAA and 10th-best in the NCAA West Region.
