Congratulations to Shelbi Vaughan from Mansfield, Texas, who PR’d by 14 feet at the Texas Relays last Friday to establish a new National Record for the high school girls discus. Her mark of 191′ 6″ broke Anna Jelmini’s 2009 record by over a foot. Check out the ESPN article here. Here is some video of her competing at the World Youth Games last September. 
Andy over at Running Runners, just posted a great interview he did with American record holder in the indoor shot put, Jill Camarena-Williams. She is speaking to an audience of runners instead of throwers, but it is still a good read. She covers: Her experience of breaking the 24 year old American record Her rivalry with Michelle Carter Her conversion from the glide to the spin Her goals, and [...] I just came across this video on youtube. It is a nice comparative analysis of two high-level high school shot putters. The poster of the video, throwfarrighthappens, has a bunch of other great videos like it on his page as well, definitely worth taking a look.
More and more high school shot putters are utilizing the rotational technique. Currently, two rotators are leading the WIAA boys honor roll after a couple of early season meets. Theron Baumann of Monona Grove, owns the top mark in the state at 60′ 3″, and Jason Zahn of Grafton, is close behind him at 59′ 8.25″. You can see video of both of them competing at the Nelson-Daniels Invitational [...] John Godina made another trip to Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, teaching his World Throws Center curriculum to coaches and athletes. Videographer to the stars, Rachel Womack, documented the weekend, and put together a great recap video below. |
