The Monmouth College track and field teams finished the two-day Augustana Meet of Champions on Saturday. After competing in the discus, javelin and 10,000m on Friday, the other events were contested on Saturday.

He won the shot put with a career-best throw of 15.67m and finished third in the hammer with a career best throw of 56.53m.
