“This weekend is another great opportunity for Nick, Chase and Caitlin to compete,” Baumann said. “The field in the men's and women's weight throw is awesome. Some of the best throwers in the country are coming to Lincoln. In the women's shot put, several outstanding putters are in the field, so Chase will once again have some great competition.”
