Solveson sets stadium record while placing second at NCAA Championships
OSHKOSH, Wis. -- Concordia University Wisconsin sophomore Brock Solveson set a J.J. Keller Stadium record in the javelin (63.35 meters) in this year's NCAA DIII Track and Field Championships in Oshkosh, Wis.

Solveson became the second track athlete in CUW history to earn All- American honors at the outdoor championships. Despite the tremendous throw, Solveson's record (63.35) was shortly tied by Stephen Burns (Rochester Institute of Technology). Both athletes battled in the finals only to see Burns earn the title based on having the second best throw during the competition (58.53 compared to 58.26 meters). The throw re-established a new CUW / NAC record which was also owned by Solveson. The second place finish earns Brock Solveson the honors of being named a 2008 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field All-American.

Concordia University Wisconsin finished the championships with a men's 25th place National Ranking.
