CORRECTION ABOUT Trevor Otterdahl (who was mixed up with Payton Otterdahl)
Trevor Otterdahl and Alex Talley will be hoping to represent North Dakota State well when they enter the circle on Friday night.
Otterdahl enters as the No. 12 ranked thrower. He has a best of 22.04m so far this season and would need to improve that effort significantly if he plans to compete with the top throwers.
Ranked No. 1 in the event is Florida’s Thomas Mardal who has a best of 24.16m, done to secure the gold medal at the 2021 SEC Indoor Championships and he will be hard to beat in this event if he gets things right.
Israel Oloyede of Arizona is ranked No. 2, while Talley who is ranked No. 3 will be hoping to pair up with his North Dakota State teammate on the podium on Thursday night.
