SMU’s Dean Starred In The Javelin At NCAAs
No one could know the history Windy Dean of SMU whirled up at the 1996 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene.
Even though Dean set a meet record for margin of victory in the women’s javelin, that performance also started two impressive streaks that have yet to be matched.
Dean’s 1996 victory was dominating, as any of her five legal throws would have easily secured victory. Her PR of 56.72m (186-1) produced a winning margin of 5.64m (18-6), one only bettered after the current women’s javelin implement was introduced in 2000.

Kyriazis Made Point With Javelin In 2017
June 7, 2017
Like the implement he threw, Ioannis Kyriazis of Texas A&M made a point in 2017: If you want to talk about the greatest javelin throwers in collegiate history, his name better be in that conversation.
Truth be told, Kyriazis did that on his first-and-only attempt at the 90th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays that year when he launched the javelin 88.01m (288-9) for the second best mark in collegiate history behind Patrik Boden’s former world record of 89.10m (292-4).
Fast forward a few months and Kyriazis entered the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Historic Hayward Field the prohibitive favorite. Not only that, but the 19-year-old meet record held by Esko Mikkola of Arizona at 81.86m (268-7) was in danger, too.
