Nike Outdoor Nationals (NC)

Emily Bernhardt (Lassiter, Marietta, GA) won the women’s competition on her first throw to lead a strong showing of Throw1Deep throwers at this year’s edition of Nike Outdoor Nationals. Bernhardt was followed by fellow Georgians sophomore Allison Horner (Lovett, Marietta, GA), eight-grader Patrice Gates (Villa Rica, GA) and freshman Lauren Chambers (Kell, Marietta, GA). The teammates were the only girls to break 140′ feet at the meet. Bernhardt easily won with a best of 169’00”. All three of her legal throws were over 168 feet.

Walter Henning (St. Anthony’s, South Huntington, NY) handily won the boy’s competition, however, it was not as easy as many thought it would be. After a sector foul and a foot foul, Henning was forced to take an easy throw on his third attempt in order to make finals. The throw landed over 227′ and would have been good enough to win the competition. Henning had better luck in the final and neared his personal best on his last throw with a toss of 247’00”. His final throw also broke the meet record of 242’09” set by national record holder Jacob Freeman in 1999.
