After a second-place finish at Pac-10s, and fourth at the NCAA Championships during his junior year, in Sinclair's senior season he was the Pac-10 champion and went on to win the 1979 NCAA championship with a throw of 261-3, which, at the time, was the University of Illinois stadium record.
Tom Sinclair set the Washington state javelin record in 1975, competing for the Peninsula High School Seahawks, in a dual meet against Curtis High School. The record still stands due to rule changes that altered the quality of the javelin' s flight to prevent the implement from traveling as far.
