2x Shot Put champion Roger Steen joins D3 Glory Days to recap his meet out at USAs, his time at UW-Eau Claire, and how coaching has been so impactful to his own throwing.
Roger went to UW-Eau Claire with the intention of just playing football. After the season, he wanted to continue competing and asked to try out for track and field. With a strong program, Steen felt behind in his training and actually thought he was going to get cut.
He continued to put the training in and at his first national meet, finished third.
After a disappointing finish his junior year, Steen and Eau Claire set out to make things right. His senior year he won both shot put titles. That gave him a taste of what he could do.
He made his first Olympic Trials in 2016 and has steadily improved each year.
This year he has thrown a PB of 22.08m and finished 8th at USAs.
He plans to compete next season to earn a spot on the Olympic team.
