OSHKOSH, Wis. – Bates College junior Noah Gauthier finished fifth in the men’s hammer throw at the NCAA Division III outdoor track and field championships Friday to earn All-America honors.
Competing in windy conditions, Guathier had the fourth-best throw in the preliminary round, 181 feet and 10 inches, to advance to the finals. Wisconsin-La Crosse senior Kevin Becker took first with a toss of 198-10.

He becomes the 11th Bates male athlete to win All-America honors in the hammer throw, and the Bobcats’ first outdoor All-American since Joe Northrup in 2005.
Kathryn Moore also became an All America by placing sixth in the 3,000 steeplechase. Her time was 10 minutes, 42.45 seconds.
