August 23, 2013 | Track & Field
Medellin, Colombia - Rising sophomore Alex Young became the first ever Gardner-Webb track & field athlete to compete at Pan American Junior Championships on Friday, as he finished in tenth place in the men's hammer throw.
Young (LaVergne, Tenn.) earned a top 10 finish by throwing 58.91 m in the junior implement, just shy of ninth place finisher Giordis Alvarez's (Venezuela) 59.46 m.
Friday's performance was possible thanks to a career best throw at 2013 USA Junior Nationals. A two-time Big South champion as a freshman, Young finished second at Junior Nationals, held in Des Moines, Iowa, to qualify for Pan Am Junior Championships.
