Keelin Godsey was a giant in what was perhaps the Golden Age of Women’s Throwing in NCAA DIII history. Godsey ruled the hammer throw with an iron fist. The Bates legend won back-to-back national titles in the event with unprecedented marks. Godsey’s first NCAA crown came in 2005 with a heave of 59.55m (195-4) that obliterated both the division record and the meet record. The following year, Godsey one-upped that throw with a majestic 62.92m (206-5) effort that remained the division and meet record until 2017. Godsey, a 16-time All-American across four throwing events, also ranked second in NCAA DIII history in the weight throw following a jaw-dropping duel with 2017 inductee Robyn Jarocki of UW-Oshkosh at the 2005 NCAA Indoor Championships in Bloomington, Illinois.
