Soph over 72' is incredible, and a southpaw at that, a real boon to those lefty shotput manufactures. I remember back to 1957 when Jim Smith of LB Poly became the first southpaw junior. to throw over 60'. Of course, the next year, 1958, Dallas Long obliterated the HS record by 5' when he threw 69' and later, still as a prep, threw the 16lb shot 61' which broke the NCAA record of 60' 6" set the same day by Dave Davis from USC.
Here's a question.......Will Vena exceed Carters record? I predict he will do a Bookout.

Yep. He's got 9 feet more to go to catch Carter. As well as get stronger, he must get faster and his form looks pretty good right now. Does anyone know how far he has thrown the 16lb shot. He should be well over 60'.
I really wonder if a distance around 80 feet is up against some rule of terminal velocity. Hell, Marlow could'nt reach 80' with a softball.
