CHAPEL HILL, N.C.--Freshman Bryan Ames broke the 24-year old
Campbell school record in the shot put and senior Ra-Don Bain broke
Ames' school record in the weight throw to highlight a small group
of Camel athletes at the Carolina Classic.
Ames finished ninth in the event with a throw of 14.18m (46-06.25
feet) surpassing Orville Peterson's throw of 14.17m (46-06.00) set
back in 1983. He also took a seventh place finish in the weight
throw with a toss of 13.99m (45-10.75).
Bain placed fifth in the weight throw behind a pack of North
Carolina State throwers with a toss of 14.21m (46-07.50), just
under a foot better than Ames' throw at the Liberty Fast Times on
January 27.
Ames, Bain and the rest of the Fighting Camels head to Johnson
City, Tenn. on February 16 and 17 for the Atlantic Sun
Championships. The men finished second and the women fifth at the
inaugural A-Sun Championships last year.
