Latham snagged the indoor season’s final NEC Rookie of the Week award for his performance in the 200m dash. Now, he’s returned to the spotlight for his prowess in the javelin. Opening his outdoor season at the fifth annual Yellow Jacket Invitational, Latham threw his way to the NEC lead. Flinging the javelin 60.20m (197’ 6”), he became the first NEC thrower to hit the 60-meter mark this season while surpassing the automatic qualifying standard for the IC4A Championships by 1.50 meters.
