Starting off at the Jack Christiansen Invite with a mark of 217-3 until this weekend at the Long Beach Invitational when the junior from Granby, Colo., posted a throw of 227-0 to sit atop the Wyoming record books in the event. Reynolds broke a record that had stood for 25 years, ranks No. 3 all time in the Mountain West and places him 15th in the NCAA so far this year.
