Missouri S&T now has a national champion in shot put: Owen Fraser.
Fraser is the first national champion in the shot put and first indoor national champion in S&T program history with a throw of 19.25 meters during the NCAA Division II Indoor Championships in March.
Fraser finds it funny that he not only became the first national champion in the school’s history, but did it twice. During the season, he broke the school shot put record — a throw just 12 centimeters short of his distance at nationals. In practice, he even set out a cone to “visualize the distance.”
