UCLA Teen goes 219-1 in Hammer (updated

[richxx87]

This kid Boldi Kocsor just tosses that thing 5 feet further each week! Just as important, he beat USC's Adam Midles for a 4-point swing in what promises to be a very close dual meet. With Brandon Johnson (400H + 4x4) injured, the Bruins need as many upsets like this as possible.

Look for this meet to also be a coming out party, on the college level, for Kevin Craddock.

Only a teenager until July 11.

UPDATE

At the PAC-10 championships Boldi won the hammer with another big PB!

"Kocsor scored the first Bruin points of the meet, winning the men's hammer throw with a new freshman record of 219-1 (old best 212-11). Kocsor, battling the flu, threw lifetime-bests in five of his six attempts on the day, with the winning throw coming in the second round. The new mark moves Kocsor into the collegiate top-10, as he advanced from the No. 15 spot to the No. 9 spot on the national list. The throw also moves him to No. 2 all-time on the UCLA top-10."

Other Bruin Frosh were hot too, Nicole Leach in the 400 and 400H prelims, Rhonda Watkins in the HJ and LJ and Craddock in the 110H prelims.

Also, Oregon's Rupp got second in the 10,000
