Congratulations John, he threw against my son in high school and did an excellent job. He will continue to improve I'm sure.

[JHS4EVER]

keep up the hard work,It will pay off soon!

[JHS4EVER]

Jackson's Greg James should also do very well this year. He finished 3rd I believe last year. That's in the State Track Meet.

Do they throw a heavier shot put in college? if so, what would a throw of 47' 10" be compared to in high school?

[Cookie]

They throw a 16# shot in college and the drop from high school to college can be anywhere from 8 - 12 feet in general. Of course there are some exceptions.

[eagles73Taylor]

Can you say Jimmy Pacifico? lol

[Cookie]

Yes, he would be the exception.

[buckeyeshots]

What does this mean? How far has he been throwing?

[Cookie]

I believe he has thrown between 46-48 feet.
