In the last two rounds, Reynolds threw 80-7 (24.56 m) before securing his title when no other competitor managed to exceed the 80-foot threshold in the last round. With the victory, Reynolds received his first all-America award of Division I and was appointed to the first team.
“We are very proud of how Daniel appeared in a big printing situation,” said Wyoming coach Paul Barrett. “He came in as a national leader and swung out on his first attempt.”
Barrett continued: “I can't imagine a better person to represent UW with class and humility. He is a special cowboy who loves his university, state and athletics program. One of the best to wear brown and gold. “
Reynolds was only the fourth cowboy in the program history, who won a NCAA national title and followed Wesley Maiyo (1,000 meters, 1974), Weight Throw, 1996) and Shauna Smith (400-meter hurdles, 2005). His 10 team points for first place were most in the history of Wyoming men and corresponded to Butler's performance in 1996.
