Dan Pekrul first broke onto the Division III track scene as a
junior in 1986, placing third in the javelin. A year later, Pekrul
was back and did his 1986 performance two places better, winning
the event with a school-record toss of 223 feet, five inches.
Pekrul's performances placed him first in an ever-increasing line
of top Briton javelin throwers, including 1991 and 1993 javelin
champion Steve Gilbert and 1994 Division III decathlon winner Tom
Reason.
