Chris Rohr was one of the most decorated throwers in Mizzou track and field history from 2006-09, earning All-America honors six times and capped off his senior season with a fourth-place finish in the hammer throw at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Lee's Summit native was the 2009 USTFCCCA Midwest Regional Indoor Athlete of the Year when he led the nation in the weight throw for weeks on his way to winning his first individual Big 12 title and placing third at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Later that year he won the league title in the outdoor hammer throw. Rohr won all-conference honors six times, qualified for the NCAA Championships five times and the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials. Rohr still holds the Mizzou record in the weight throw (22.71m/76-6) and hammer throw (71.92m/236-0) – both marks set in 2009.
