Sophomore Robert Alderman (Fort Wayne, Ind./Concordia) broke the Marian University school record in the shot put with his 14.88-meter throw, which was good enough for a fourth-place finish in the meet.

The Knights are back in action Saturday when they travel to West Lafayette, Ind. for the Purdue Invitational.
