Hoffman, who placed first in the 35-lb weight throw Friday night at the Penn State National Invitational, returned home to the Bison Open and Multi to win his fourth-straight competition with a throw of 64 feet, 11 ¼ inches (19.79m), which is a new school record and an NCAA provisional mark. Boyle ran a time of 47.59 seconds in the 400-meter dash at the Penn State National Invitational, which was good for first. His time was also a new school record, personal best, and an IC4A qualifying mark.
