MOBILE, Ala. – With postseason set to get underway for the University of South Alabama men's and women's outdoor track and field teams this weekend, Zach Blahnik is the guest this week on the official podcast of the Jaguar Department of Athletics, "Inside JagNation."
Blahnik, who hails from Algoma, Wis., enters the 2017 Sun Belt Conference Outdoor Championship — slated to begin Friday in Arlington, Texas — ranked second in the league in the hammer throw and seventh in the discus. His top mark in the former event this spring, a 63.86m toss, came at the Pepsi Florida Relays the final week of March and stands second on the school's all-time performance list; that's one of five marks among the top 10 the fifth-year senior has recorded during his indoor and outdoor career.
