broke his own school record in the weight throw three times
during the month of February. At the Hilltop Invitational,
he edged out his month-old mark with a throw of 52-02.75.
A week later, Matt shattered it again, this time with a
52'11.50 toss at the Fighting Scot Invitational. Finally,
against stiff NCAA Division I competition at the UNI-Dome
Open, he crushed the mark by nearly three feet with a throw
of 55-03.00. Matt placed in the top five in every meet he
competed in during the indoor season, was the Midwest Classic
Conference indoor champion in the weight throw and finished
14th at the NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships.
