For the track and field program, Cervantes took his usual spot atop the podium in the shot put at the Fourth Annual Gorilla Classic in Pittsburg, Kan., over the weekend. The Sharyland H.S. product hurled his implement 18.06 meters (59-3) to take home the gold.

The distance stands as yet another NCAA Provisional Qualifying mark and just missed the cut as an automatic qualifier by .01 meters. Cervantes currently owns the best toss in the shot put in the LSC on the year, second in the region behind Samuel Reid from Adams State, and sixth in the nation.
