Boise State's Nelson Wins Collegiate Hammer Throw at Sun Angel Track Classic

Boise State's Alex Nelson won the hammer throw in the Collegiate Division at the Sun Angel Track Classic in Tempe, Arizona yesterday.  Nelson uncorked a throw of 208-feet, 8-inches on his fourth of six throws at the competition.  Nelson's throw would have finished second and been within a foot of Minnesota's Micah Hegerle, who won the so-called "Premiere Division".



Unfortunately, Nelson's effort represented the only Boise State finish in the top five yesterday.  Action resumes this afternoon in Tempe.
