- Induction:
- 2000
Brenner competed in the shot put, discus and hammer throw for the UCLA Track and Field squad for two seasons (1983-84). In 1983, Brenner finished second at the NCAA’s in the shot put and fourth in the discus. The following year as a senior, Brenner broke UCLA records in the shot put (71-11 ¼ ft), discus (208-2 ft.) and hammer throw (211-1 ft.). That same year, he went on to capture the Pac-10 and the NCAA championships in both the shot put and discus. After leaving UCLA, Brenner placed first in the shot put at the 1986 and 1987 USA Track and Field Championships. Brenner’s career toss in the shot put was 73 10 ¾ ft. in 1987 which, at the time, was the fifth furthest toss in history and the US record.
