Nick Jones is a fast learner.

Then, last year, he became a serious study in the event his freshman year at Abilene Christian University -- and won a Division II national outdoor title with a throw of 186 feet, 11 inches.

"About halfway through the year last year, he just figured it out," ACU coach Don D. Hood said. "At the national meet, on his third throw, he threw almost 187 feet, which is just a tremendous throw. It just kind of shocked the world a little bit."
