Over the past weekend, junior athletes (born in 1986 or later)
competed for a chance to represent America at next month's Pan Am
Junior Championships in Ontario, Canada. The top two finishers in each
competition made Team USA. In the junior men's hammer throw, high
school throwers did the best. Five of the top seven finishers were high
school throwers. John Freeman (Bishop Hendricken, Warwick, RI) led the
way with a second place finish and a personal bes throw of 205'10" with
the 6 kilogram (13.2# pound) hammer. Entering the final round, Freeman
was in third place, however he improved and passed former high school
hammer thrower Matt Wauters (now at the University of Idaho) to qualify
for the team. Another former high school hammer thrower, Boldi Kocsor
(now at UCLA) won the competition. Kim Williams (Alexander,
Douglasville, GA) was the top high school finisher in the junior
women's competition. She placed sixth with a throw of 166'05". Brittany
Riley of Southern Illinois University won with a throw of 192'01".
