Tim VanLiew
(Deptford, NJ/Deptford)

Senior Tim VanLiew geared up to defend his national championship in the javelin with another outstanding performance last week. On May 16, VanLiew won the ECAC Division III Championships with a javelin throw of 65.41 meters (214-7), over five meters longer than the runner-up in the 23-man field. A day later, VanLiew was honored as the Atlantic Region Field Athlete of the Year by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). VanLiew, who owns the longest Division III javelin throw in the nation this season, will be competing Saturday at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
