Cinnaminson graduate Kamron Kobolak, a junior at Rutgers, recorded a huge shot put PR over the weekend at a meet in Boston.
Kobolak threw 54-7 1/2 at the Battle of Beantown at Boston University.
His previous indoor PR was 52-6 at the Wagner Invitational at Ocean Breeze earlier last month, and his lifetime best was a 52-11 at an outdoor meet at the University of Maryland in College Park this past March.
Coming into this indoor season, Kobolak’s PR with the 16-pound ball was 52-4 3/4 from last year’s Big Ten Championships at SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.
Kobolak’s throw in Boston is No. 5 in Rutgers indoor history.
Kobolak also has a PR of 160-10- 3/4 in the discus from a meet in Jacksonville last April.
