Sophomore Cody Breidenbach will return to the championships competing in the weigh throw following a seventh-place finish a year ago in the event, as he earned All-America honors. Joining the sophomore in Alabama will be juniors Alex Ivanov and Andrew McGovern who will both run in the 800-meter race.

Ivanov and McGovern rank third and fourth, respectively, with converted times of 1:49.83 and 1:50.08. Both times were set at the University Athletic Association indoor meet where they swept the top two spots and broke the meet record time.
