Instantly measuring throws to an accuracy of 1 millimeter
On April 22 and 23, the ONU track team hosted the Polar Bear Invitational regional track meet on campus.
Four ONU College of Engineering students added a new twist to the meet.
The Four civil engineering majors put their surveying skills to work during the event. They measured discus, hammer, and javelin throws using electronic surveying equipment.
By using a Topcon ES107 Total Station, the engineering students were able to instantly measure throws to an accuracy of 1 millimeter. The engineering students were Eric Barnes, Michael Kimberlin, Sophia Ribas Teixeiras and Tom Smallwood.
