#1 | Austin Combs | Men's Indoor Track and Field

A native of Findlay, Ohio, Austin Combs only competed during the indoor portion of the schedule. He made the most of his opportunity however as he walked away with a national championship in the weight throw.

Combs won his national title with a throw of 20.99 meters at the indoor meet on March 9 in Pittsburg, Kansas. He earned All-American accolades in the event and also took home All-American honors in the shot put after finishing fourth with a throw of 18.53 meters.

An all-region performer by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCA) in both evens, Combs was also named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Field Athlete of the Year during the indoor season. A first team all-league pick in both the weight throw and shot put, Combs captured conference titles in both events to help lead the Oilers to the overall team championship.
