Bio

2015-2016 Athlete of the Year

As a freshman member of the Tiger track and field team, Guijo finished the year by being the national champion in the hammer throw at the NJCAA Division I Outdoor National Championships. His performance helped Cowley place 13th as a team at the national meet.

He has followed up that success with a strong sophomore campaign. After finishing second in the conference and third in the region at the 2016 Region VI/Jayhawk Conference Indoor Championships held at Pittsburg State University, he broke his own school record and placed third in the men's weight throw at the 2016 NJCAA Division I National Indoor Championships in Winston Salem, NC. His performance helped the Tiger men place 22nd nationally as a team.

Guijo, a pre-physical therapy winner, recently placed second in the hammer throw at the KU Relays and has qualified to defend his national title in the hammer throw at this year's NJCAA Division I Outdoor National Championships in Levelland, Texas.
