SMU's Simoné du Toit Named USTFCCCA All-American

March 15, 2011

NEW ORLEANS (SMU) --- Following a strong indoor season, SMU track and field athlete Simone Du Toit was selected as a First Team USTFCCCA All-American.

This past weekend du Toit placed sixth at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the shot put with a 17.00 meter throw. The competition wrapped up an impressive year for the junior, which included a Conference USA championship and the fourth-longest shot put mark (17.49 meters) in the nation. The Johannesburg, South Africa native twice earned C-USA Athlete of the Week honors this season.

Du Toit and the Mustangs kick off the outdoor season this weekend with the TCU Invitational on Mar. 18 in Fort Worth.

Does Simoné have Olympic intentions? It looks like some of her better throws in shot put are good enough to make the B standard (which usually gets athletes into the Olympics).

Imagine if Simoné and Margus were both in London in 2012 and did well. That would be awesome.
