Grooming an Olympic thrower

[OutdoorWriter]

Appears a kid at my alma mater is making some big news as a discus/shot competitor. As a freshman, he's already shattered several records & recently, trailing only two throwers from Jamaica, he came in 3rd at the prestigious Penn Relays. The PRs have been held in PA since 1895 with more than 15,000 athletes now competing.

The freshman is only getting better, hitting a 193 flat to notch a medal and watch at the Irving Mondschein Throwing Complex on Friday.
