Badger updates

This past week has been a pretty quiet one for Badger athletics, but there have been a couple of bright notes for UW over the past few days.

Men's track sophomore Robert Dehn made the second best javelin throw in UW history, and in the process qualified for the NCAA Mideast regional in Louisville, KY. The Wisconsin State Journal has a pretty interesting feature story on the Owatonna, Min. native, following his athletic career. Check out Andy Baggot's story here.

The women's rowing team also gave us some good news, as they qualified for the NCAA finals. The Badger women notched the best time of the remaining boats. In fact, they were leading throughout the entire race. The Badgers finished with a time of seven minutes and 15.35 seconds. They will face Stanford, UC-Berkeley, Clemson, Yale and Virginia in the final.
