Mavric Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Quote Last week Davis qualified for the NCAA Championships in Eugene Oregon with a throw of 188-1. He'll be seeded sixth for next Friday's national championships at Oregon's Hayword Field. His teammate Nick Percy was the national champion in the discus in 2016 and is one of the favorites to win it again this year. When Percy looks at Davis's growth as a thrower, he credits a lot of it to the changes he's made in his body under new head football coach Scott Frost's strength and conditioning program. “I think the biggest thing he's done is he’s improved his physique,” Percy said of Davis. “Last year he was pretty light and pretty thin – the coaching staff at that point wanted him to be a little lighter and a little faster. This year the team is a bit more athletic, and they are a little bigger. Just that increased strength level is the biggest thing. They are very smooth like they always have been. They are just freak athletes. Just that extra weight behind them just gives them the extra power and boost that they need.” Veteran Husker track coach Gary Pepin was thrilled that both Carlos and Khalil Davis chose to take part in track the last three years.

Scarlet Overkill Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Fire Duval! He's obviously doing something wrong if Carlos came in last. https://www.ncaa.com/sites/default/files/external/track-field/results/d1/outdoor18/Finals/018-1_compiled.htm Quote Link to comment

If next year Carlos doesn't come in 1st with a throw of 10,982 feet...THEN we fire Duval. Oh and technically, Carlos Davis didn't finish last. The guy who fouled out did. Quote Link to comment
Day by Day Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Has Carlos ever made it this far before? If not then you could say Duval got him this far... right...:) Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Sigh. Ok, Duval can stay. 1 Quote Link to comment
