Region 13 USATF Junior Olympic Championship (WA) Results

Throwers from across the Pacific Northwest traveled to Spokane this weekend for the Region 13 USATF Junior Olympic Championship. The highlight of the meet was nothing less than a national freshman class record from Trey Knight (Ridgefield, WA). Knight entered the competition as one of the top freshman of all-time. Already in the first round he added five feet to his best. In round three, he went even further and measured 218’8″. That added 16 feet to his pre-meet best and five feet to the national record. All six of his throws were over his old best.

The previous national freshman class record was set 11 years ago by Conor McCullough with a throw of 213’00”. McCullough of course went on to set the overall high school record before graduating in 2009 and then making the 2016 Olympics.

There were also several other great marks at the competition, including a nice toss by junior Hawa Mahama (Pullman, WA) to win the girl’s 17-18 year old division.
