Jared Finley stood next to the ring behind Buena Vista High School as Demons senior Mason Finley — the best high school discus thrower in U.S. history — spun and unleashed a practice throw. About 200 feet away, toward the backdrop formed by the Rocky Mountains' Collegiate Peaks, Mason's mother, Lisa, noted the throw's trajectory and backpedaled to make sure the discus didn't hit her, whether on the fly or in its post-landing roll. Then she chased it down for her son. This small town in central Colorado, with an official population of 2,195, might seem an unlikely setting to watch a track and field national-record holder.

Thanks for the link, Dr Jay. Real interesting article. We can look forward to some great future battles between Finley and the Ukrainian kid Nesterenko in the future!

I'm still waiting for Margus Hunt to come into his own.
