Hershey Throws

Some awesome performances yesterday got the following Hershey throwers state-bound next week in Omaha! ***Addison Frederick: Girls Discus: District Runner-up*** ***Michael Salinas: Boys Shot Put: District Runner-up*** ***Cooper Hill: Boys Discus: District Champ***

🚨🚨🚨 SCHOOL RECORD ALERT: BOY'S DISCUS 🚨🚨🚨 Congratulations to COOPER HILL, with a distance of (159-10"). Breaking Alek Damoude's 2022 record, of 157-08". 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳 Congratulations, Coop! 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉

The best discus throw series in history. 72.21m 70.32m 72.89m 70.51m 74.35m WR 70.50m Take a bow for the 21-year-old Mykolas Alekna 🙌

WORLD RECORD 👀 🇱🇹’s Mykolas Alekna breaks the oldest men’s world record* as he produces a monster discus throw of 74.35m in Ramona. Jürgen Schult’s record stood for almost 38 years 🤯 *subject to the usual ratification procedures

Looks like the throwers running quota is fulfilled for the year. Just have to entice with them a prize for who collects the most Easter eggs. Congrats Houston Hill* *Alleged questionable/controversial ending.

Ryan Crouser had the throwing community in a chokehold back in the day with this video 🏋️‍♀️

THANK YOU for dedicating 6 seasons to not only the sport you love, but also being an influence to others. At future practices, my own 2 boys will miss spending time (& often, pestering) you two. Signing off for the HPS Throws; wishing the best of luck to your future endeavors!

From their collective throwing careers & journey, they broke school records, became conference & district champions & were multi-yr state qualifers + state medalists. These two PRESERVED as individuals & athletes from the highs & lows that are involved in the throwing world.

The end of a T&F season means the unfortunate send-off for throwers. This yr, it is especially difficult. For after 6 seasons, Michalee Brownawell & Cruz Brooks have completed their HS throwing journey. They both leave their marks on the HPS throwing program in so many ways.

STATE MEDALIST ALERT!!! Hershey Senior, Michalee Brownawell placed 3RD in the Class C Shot Put today at Omaha Burke!!! Michalee comes home with TWO medals from state today!!! Congratulations again to Michalee and Coach Siegel!!! #PANTHERMOJO #IMPACT
