May 23, 2008 Walnut, CA – Saint Martin’s Sam Washington took seventh in the men’s shot put at the NCAA Division II Championships to achieve All-American status. Washington’s throw of 54’10” again set a new school record in the event. On a day when weather conditions were surprisingly cold and wet making for slippery conditions in the throwing circle, Washington got the job done on his first throw setting his new career best distance. “Sam was only ranked twelfth going into the competition and to finish seventh is a fantastic achievement,” said head coach Julie Sullivan. “Sam’s preparation and apparent calmness during the competition is a credit to this freshman and I know that his is only the beginning of a great student-athlete career for this young man.”
