Favorites Story and Velez win New Balance NationalsPublished by
Rhode Island swept the top spots in the boys hammer and Georgia walked away with best girls results at this year's New Balance Outdoor Nationals. Favorite Joe Velez (Classical, Providence, RI) ended up with the win, but not after a little drama. Velez led most of the competition, but junior Charlie Ionata (Barrington, RI) took the lead in the fifth round. However Velez came through final attempt of 207'3" to regain the lead and captue the title. Bryn Campbell (Canal Winchester, OH) took third place with all three medalists finishing over 200-feet. National leader Rudy Winkler (Averill Park, NY) was absent and instead throwing at the US Junior National Championships in order to try and qualify for the World Junior Championships. National leader Avana Story (Woodward Academy, College Park, GA) took the girl's title in another close competition. Story was well under her best throughout the competition and found herself trailing her training partner Monice Phillips (Pope, Marietta, GA) throughout the first four rounds. But then Story found some more strength to take the lead by less than a foot. That was enough to secure the win though. Another Georgia thrower, freshman Sabrina Gaitan (Sprayberry, Marietta, GA) also had a huge improvement in the final round to nearly pass both throwers but had to settle for thid place.
