Kurt Roberts left an indelible mark with the shot at the 2010 NCAA DII Indoor Track & Field Championships. It was in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Roberts set a meet record – and division record – of 19.80m (64-11½) to win his second of three career NCAA titles. That division record stood until 2013, while his meet record remained until 2019. Roberts defended his indoor crown as a senior in 2011 to become just the second man in meet history to reign in that event in back-to-back years. The former Ashland Eagle was named USTFCCCA National Indoor Field Athlete of the Year in 2010 and earned three USTFCCCA Regional Field Athlete of the Year honors between the indoor and outdoor seasons.
