Robert Collingwood set a new national indoor shot put record at the Meyo Invitational at the Loftus Centre, in Notre Dame, Indiana, USA on the weekend. The Southern Mississippi student tossed the iron ball 17.51m to improve the previous national mark of 17.46m he established in 2011. Collingwood joins two T&T shot putters who were already victorious on the US Collegiate circuit for the 2012 season. Hilenn James captured the Virginia Tech Elite Meet with a heave of 15.43 while Annie Alexander recorded two wins-Auburn Invite on January 21 with 17.70m, and the Kentucky Invitational on January 14 with 16.08m.
