Cal sophomore Mykolas Alekna, representing Lithuania, examines the improvement made during his second year with the Golden Bears ahead of the NCAA Division 1 Championships at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, Texas. Alekna achieved the collegiate record April with a throw of 232-11 (71.00m) at the Big Meet in Berkeley. He also boasts 11 of the top 12 throws in collegiate history, seeking the first discus crown for Cal since Martin Maric in 2009, after Alekna placed second last year by a one-inch margin behind Chilean athlete Claudio Romero of Virginia.
