WINSTON SALEM, North Carolina – The Wilmington College men's track & field team saw Joe Shuga and JJ Durr travel to Indoor DIII Championships in North Carolina.
Weight throw was on day one of the two-day event. JJ Durr finished eleventh in the country after a first flight throw of 58' 4.5". The freshman finished off his first collegiate indoor season among the best of the best.
"JJ had a phenomenal indoor freshman season," Head Coach Ron Combs said. "The experience he had this year at indoor nationals will definitely benefit him down the road."
Senior Joe Shuga finished the day in eighteenth place with a throw of 55' 7.5". After an amazing senior indoor season, Shuga winds down with a top 20 finish.
"Joe had a great season in the weight throw," said Combs. "Making it to nationals for the indoor was a great accomplishment. He tweaked his ankle in practice, and it was bothering him."
Wilmington will take a few weeks off and start the outdoor season at Cedarville, Ohio, at the end of March.
