Alec Faldermeyer (Minisink Valley, Slate Hill, NY) was just off of his personal best, but still easily won the Nike Indoor Nationals weight throw title on Friday and just barely missed the meet record set by Dylan Amstrong of Canada in 1999. (On a side note, Armstrong placed fourth in the shot put this morning at the World Indoor Championships). Faldermeyer's best throw of 85'10.50" was more than fifteen feet better than runner-up Dustin Brode (Canfield, OH). Brode came up with his best throw, a new personal best, to move from third to second in the final round. Bret Hardin (Harrison, Marietta, GA) was inches off of his personal best in third place.

Melissa Kurzdorfer (Lancaster, NY) regained the national lead and set a meet record wo win the girl's competition. All of Kurzdorfer's throws outdistanced runner-up Angela Onye (Classical, Providence, RI). Onye also had a spectacular day, throwing a personal best of more than four feet to take second. Aleide Fernandes (Central Falls, RI) threw a two foot best for third place and Karen Henning (St. Anthony's, South Huntington, NY) took fourth.
