CHICAGO — Oklahoma’s Tucker Smith picked up his first collegiate win this weekend, taking the shot put competition at the Windy City Invitational.

Smith, a freshman and two-time state champion from Columbus North, threw the 16-pound shot 60 feet, 10 1/2 inches. He won by four inches over Wisconsin junior Jason Swarens, a Terre Haute South graduate and the only shot putter to beat Smith during his high school career.
