Wirfs throws 65-10.5 in the shot put

[Blair Sanderson]

His original goal was surpassing 65' by the Drake Relays, so he'll have to set it a little higher now.



That should tie him with Nick Phelps who threw 65-10.5 indoor this season. Going to be quite a showdown at Drake.

Do you have AJ's numbers for shot put and discus?

Looks like AJ's PR is 60' 4.5" in shot put. Dominated.

Really good for a high school QB. Could be a national record for the position.

He had said he would consider it if he reached some distance this season. Looks like this throw gives him that distance.

I saw Coy Kirkpatrick broke the Madrid School record for the discuss at like 186'11", so not far behind AJ's 190.

Exciting so many linemen recruits doing so well in the throwing events their senior year.
