CollegeHammer.com NCAA Division I Hammer Throw Rankings

Volume One - 22 April 2010 

Men: As returning NCAA Champion and the 2010 season leader, Marcel Lomnicky (Virginia Tech) debuts in the top spot with Walter Henning (LSU) close behind. Alexander Ziegler (Virginia Tech) also boasts a big personal best and was also a pre-season favorite, but was less than impressive in his debut last weekend.

On the bubble (in alphabetical order): Jason Lewis (Arizona State); Brad Millar (DePaul); Matej Muza (Virginia Tech); James Rogan (Idaho); Adonson Shallow (Southeastern Louisiana); and Jordan Stray (Oregon).

Women: Alena Krechyk (Kansas) entered has the longest personal best of the leaders, but has been less consistent in her opening meetings. Nikola Lomnikca (Georgia), on the other hand, has consistently improved throughout the early season and looks like the thrower to beat so far. Although she fouled out last weekend, Dorotea Habazin (Virginia Tech) is also right in the mix.

On the bubble (in alphabetical order): Gwen Berry (Souterhn Illinois); Sarah Grimm (Utah); and Nicole Luckenbach (Eastern Washington); .

The CollegeHammer.com rankings are subjective and take into account the following factors: head-to-head record versus top rivals, season's best, previous big meet performances (i.e. peaking ability), recent performances, consistency, personal best, as well as other factors.
