Boys Weight Throw
Results

by Pete Cava and Ricky Quintana

No surprises here as Nick Owens (Shelton, WA) and Cory Martin (Bloomington,
IN), the only two 70-foot performers coming into the championships, nailed the top two spots.

The burly, bushy-haired Owens was six inches off his season best with a winning
throw of 74-3 (22.63). Owens’ toss came on his third attempt after two fouls.

Martin’s best, 73-3.5 (22.34), came on his last attempt and was a PR. Jacob
Dunkelberger (Smyrna, GA) joined the 70-foot club with a 70-7 (22.41m) throw on his
first try, also a career best.

Owens, who wore a kilt for the medal ceremonies, said the two fouls had him
worried. “The tought that I came all this way from Washington to have two fouls was
nerve-wracking,” he said. “I knew the Lord would take care of me and give me a throw.

Owens explained his unusual garb, telling NSSF’s Ricky Quintana his heritage is
Welsh, Scottish and Irish. “This summer I’m going to compete in the Highland Games,” he said, “so I figured I’d show a little national pride while I was here.”
