Thrower Thomas Mardal was grabbed his second consecutive SEC Championship Title when he threw for 23.89 meters, 24.15 meters, and 24.16 meters. If the title was not enough, Mardal broke UF’s records three times yesterday and then an SEC Championship record. Entering the competition, the thrower led the nation in the weight throw. Now with a repeat title under his belt, Mardal leaves the competition by proving he’s the best.
