“All my hard work paid off; I was able to showcase it when it really mattered,” Tyler said.
The All-America medal is only the most prestigious of many titles and honors Tyler won during his collegiate throwing career. As a freshman, he was already one of the top throwers in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, placing second at the conference championship meet. He won the MIAC title as a sophomore before picking up silver medals again as a junior and senior. His resume includes eight individual wins along with 20 additional top-five finishes.
