Minnesota's Shelby Frank won the program's fifth weight throw conference title to open the 2023 Big Ten Indoor Championships on Friday at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio. The third-year Gopher used the No. 1 throw in the nation this season to win the event and put the Gophers in eighth as a team through the first day of the indoor conference championships.
Frank, a Grand Forks, N.D., native launched her mark of 24.14m (79-2 1/2) on her third attempt. During her six-throw series Frank also had marks of 23.14m, 22.38m and 21.89m. The mark for Frank is 0.01m, or one centimeter, further than Jalani Davis of Ole Miss, who tossed her mark back on Jan. 13. Frank is the third different Gopher to win the conference's weight throw competition in the last five years, joining Tess Keyzers and Kaitlyn Long.
