Cervantes turned in yet another dominating performance for the Javelinas during the indoor season, this time coming in the form of two NCAA Provisional Qualifying marks at the Ted Nelson Invitational in College Station, Texas.
The Mission, Texas, native took first in the shot put for the second straight meet with a heave of 55-4.25 (16.87m) for his first provisional mark of the day. Cervantes fell just short of his mark at the Crimson & Gold Invitational back in December of 57-2.75 (17.44m), which is currently the seventh-best throw in the NCAA at the Division-II level.
The Sharyland H.S. product followed that performance up with a toss of 58-6.75 (17.85m) in the weight throw to finish fourth in the event, besting his previous mark of 57-5 (17.50m) set in Pittsburg, Kan., to open the 2018-19 campaign. It was Cervantes' second provisional mark of the day, first of the season in the event, and he presently sits 21st on the indoor performance list in the event at the Division-II level.
