OSHKOSH, Wis. - George Fox University (Ore.) sophomore Joel Krebs uncorked a winner on his first throw to capture his first NCAA Division III men’s javelin championship at J.J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium. Krebs was second as a freshman in 2006.

Krebs’ toss of 198-8 outdistanced the best effort of regular-season leader Ken Ciolek of State University of New York-Brockport State as competitors endured a sudden deluge of wet weather while throwing almost directly into a steady wind.

Ciolek was second at 195-11 with Krebs’ Pacific Coast sophomore rival Kory Kemp of Whitworth College (Wash.) in third (191-2). Steve Blum of Coast Guard Academy (Conn.) took fourth (190-10) and Linfield College (Ore.) freshman Ryan Bronson was fifth (190-9).
