Field Championships

Saturday, May 27, Behrend
Lions junior Dan Mitchell (Bloomsburg/

the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships and placed ninth
overall.
Mitchell's throw measured 194' 6" at Benedictine
University in Lisle, Illinois. His ninth place finish is the highest ever

he finished in 15th place. He qualified for the 2006
Championships with a mark of 193' 6" at the Mount Union
