Shot putter Tim Nedow continued the wave of momentum coming off his club record throw last week, winning the Karlsruhe Indoor Meeting in Germany on Saturday. Improving throughout the competition's four rounds (six is standard), Nedow was able to put the shot out to 20.89 meters to win by a foot over Romania's Andrei Gag. For the victory, Tim grabbed 10 valuable points in the new IAAF World Indoor Tour. While the tour continues Sunday in Boston, Tim will rejoin the action next Wednesday in Stockholm.
In Colorado Springs, sprinter Lauren Gale put on an excellent performance at the Air Force High School Open, winning the 400m in an indoor best 55.34 seconds. The time is the sixth fastest among high school women in the United States right now. Gale also finished second in the 200m in 24.45, slightly off her best of 24.32 set at last summer's national youth championships.
Also setting a new meet best was Remy Binns in the men's 800m with a time of 1:55.54.
