| Hawkeye throwers dominate, two advance to NCAA Championships
Hawkeye throwers dominate Midwest Regional :: Alexander, Varner qualify for Saturday finals Quote:
The University of Iowa flexed its muscle in the men's shot put Friday at the Midwest Regional at Ed Weir Stadium and the Hawkeyes set the table for potential national qualification in the women's 400-meter dash and the men's 400 hurdles.
The biggest splash by the black and gold on Day One of the regional came as no surprise in the men's shot put. Iowa had three throwers -- John Hickey, A.J. Curtis and Shane Maier -- all in the second flight of eight competitors. Hickey (61-feet-4 ¼) and Curtis (59-5 ½) advanced to nationals by placing second and third. Maier, who has overcome injuries this season, was seventh (56-11 ½).
