Bakke sixth in junior nationals DENTON, Texas � University of Oregon freshman Nick Bakke finished sixth in the javelin competition Friday at the USA Track and Field Junior Championships. The Ashland High graduate threw the javelin 193 feet, 4 inches, his second best throw of the year. During the collegiate season, the former prep state runner-up competed unattached to adjust to the collegiate level. His season best of 198-3 was in the Oregon Invitational. "Nick had a solid day, although I think he was expecting more," Oregon assistant coach Bill Lawson said. "He had a nice throw past 200 feet in warm-ups that would have won, but still he was right there in the hunt for a top-three spot." University of Southern Utah�s Bradley Wyatt won the event with a throw of 204-1.
