I did 53'2 in high school. I wasn't even considered for the states. They were throwing over 60. 35 years later winning throws in NY are less then 55. WTF
@kragseven not many people seem to want to throw anymore or like my high school i graduated from, Battle Ground High School near Vancouver, WA, the incoming kids just dont want to compete. my freshman year there were about at least 100 total athletes on our team. last year (senior year) there were less than 80. there were about 8 to 10 total throwers. Skyview High School in Salmon Creek has at least 20 throwers and they're all relatively big kids whereas BG's kids aren't that big. All kids want
@kragseven these days is to party and screw around. And some of the people who come out are forced to come out and compete because either their parents tell them to or a coach for another sport tells them to. Even my little brother didn't want to try cuz he's a lazy ass. i got him to try the discus a couple days ago and his first ten minutes he's throwing the 2k discus over 40 feet and throwing the 1k over 70 with literally no technique. hes got the build for disc and with some training, he'll
Yeah I threw a 38 footer as a sophomore..... Just kidding I can't brag hahah my school sucks. I did through 38 feet but the kid ahead of me throughs 50 feet sooo.... yeah fuck me right lol?
Damn, when i was in high school anyone over 47' was beast and a 50-53' throw would win state.... that is Illinois though, now im coaching and i have a freshman learning the rotational, he's popped off a couple of 40' throws already, im pretty impressed by that.
its weird seeing hoffa out of the back on his left he has adapted to doing like a hammer turn out of the back it through me off seeing him on his toes
yea, im about to become a sophomore, my best was like 35 feet this year and im in southern jersey. Although that was from the stand, When i do the glide i lose like 5 feet because im not doing it right, and my spin is horrible. This was also my first year, for my region i did pretty good i guess as a first time freshman ^.^
Also Corey Abernathey, who will be a senior next looks very promising, i throw with him all the time and even though he only went high 50s in comp this year i have personally seem him throw over 64 many times. Also, mcsaucy, we have some very good young discus throwers coming up
Ohio has the best throwers. . . except you forget about Nick Vena from New Jersy, a Sop who has gone 72'8, or Bailio and Saenz from Texas, both of whom have goen over 72. What about Mason Finley from Colorado? 71 in shot put and 236 in discus? Or the the Oregonians with their 67 / 202 Ryan Crouser and 238 Jav Sam Crouser. Ohio has the best throwers, right.
Also California had 8, maybe 9 60 footers this year, though no Dj Duke.
If your talking about top end, then no, Ohio was not the best last year. But if your talking about most top end depth, then Ohio has just about everyone else beat. Next year it will be really competitive because 4 of the top 5 returning shot putters in the nation are from northern ohio
@tonzy74 Actually if you look at the top 3 from NJ and top 3 from Ohio and add up their distances. Ohio has a total of 196'5 for their top 3 from last year while NJ is 193'7 and Ohio had no throwers over 70' last year. If I was to add up top 3 this year Ohio would be over 200 while NJ would be near 180 at best. As of May 4th 2010.
i only throw 42' with shotput and im 14 yrs old and a freshman. :( Do i suck bad or am i good? i throw father then everyone in my school and 5th in my division
you all suck i threw 53'9 my sophmore year in high school.... and i am not even that good... and its reese hoffa whoever trickour is, is a complete tool... and its a 8lb for middle 12 for hs and 16 lb's above that level
OOOO Good for you! My bro throws shot in high school and 40-50's are state quals. Alot of them are going to big 10 and pac 10 colleges throwing 50's. So good for you man!! But go fuck yourslef, my money is on the other kids that you reffer to as "sucky." I bet 2 years from now there going to out throw you with there heart and your ego...
you are such an idiot... everything you said is completely wrong, or makes no sense. I go to a division 1 college and am a freshman. I throw 58.60 meters in that hammer because that is my event, even though i still place in shot put with 14.2 meter throws. I am stating facts, and you just do not know what you are talking about.
I said 50 foot throws, not 57-59 feet like Dechant threw. And Dechant is a freak as of now. Not sure why he didn't compete outdoor (possible injury like me?) but he's an absolute monster.
damn, even though it is a fowl, throwing 70 ft in high school is pretty damn impressive, my furthest throw when i was a sophomore was 41 ft with a 12 lb shot, apparently apparently thats not as good as i though it was
When I was in high school 41ft was like... HOLY CRAP THAT KIDS STRONG. I remember seeing my first 50ft with the 12lbs and being like.. NO FUCKING WAY MAN!
thats not always true about fouling out the front, i actually throw 2-3 feet less when i go out the front. if you try and stay in and bring your right hip all the way around, you get a farther throw and it makes it easier to stay in
i see where you're coming from. it was a generalization though. think about it if you go over the toeboard you're throwing from further in the second usually
:( i wish i could be like him....i only throw 34 feet, right now when i go back to school im going to be a junior, i promise myself though before i graduat in 2009 im going to throw 55 ft or more so maybe i can sumday go to the olympics
well California middle school track is a complete joke, There arent really organized sports run by the schools at all. There was only one track meet, which comprised of the 4 schools in the district. hte winning throw was 54, 2nd was like 45 and 3rd somewhere around 42
i live in florida, and the furthest throw was around 56. this is middle school right? the funniest thing was it was a seventh grader!!! he is some kind of new breed of beast.
if it was middle school i dont think you would throw the 12. the official weight for kids under 15(almost every middle schooler) is 4k... im not saying he didnt throw 56 but i dont think it was a 12.
