Kearney, Neb. - Nebraska-Kearney thrower Dane Tobey shattered the meet, arena and school record in the shot put to highlight the 2010 Charlie Foster Classic Saturday afternoon in Cushing Coliseum.

The non-team scoring meet included Fort Hays State, York, Barton County C.C., Pratt C.C. and Colby C.C. along with a slew of unattached entries.

Tobey (Waco), a four-time All-American, won the shot with a big throw of 61-9. That is the second best effort in Division II this year, trailing only a toss of 62-6.75 by Ashland (Ohio) junior Kevin Roberts.

Tobey held the meet record (60-3.75), set in Jan. 2008, during his redshirt year while UNL grad Kevin Coleman set the arena record (61-7) back in 1996. Finally, Lance Pfeiffer held the school mark at 61-2.75 (Feb. 2007).
