This past weekend was the ECAC Championships for the Union Track and Field team. Ham was one of the highest placed finishers on the Union team. He finished in eighth in the discus throw with an impressive distance of 41.76 meters.
Even though the track and field season is over, Ham still plans to participate in the sport. He said, "Yes, the season is over, but there are open meets and club teams over the summer that I am interested in participating in. There is always a feeling of dissatisfaction at the end for all athletes. I am no different and use it as a method of motivation to get better next year."
Amid participating in these competitions, Ham says that this summer he will be working. "[I'll be doing] possible secretary work for a small law office. If not, can I take your order?"
