The thrower chalked up a distance of 16.06 meters for second place at the competition. Postema's toss was his third best of the season, but still much shorter than his record-setting toss of 17.04 he notched at the Manchester Invitational earlier in the 2013 campaign. The Defiance, Ohio, native currently sits eighth in the national rankings with that mark.
The Yellow Jacket men's and women's track and field squads will both have select individuals competing tomorrow, Friday, May 10 at the Grand Valley State Second to Last Chance Meet. Action is slated to kick-off at 1 p.m.
