Austin Gamble Throws Discus 201-5.5! Mar 27, 2009

When the results came in last night I was skeptical.  A discus thrower who has remained largely unnoticed breaks out with his first reported throw of the year over 200 feet?  Must be a typo, right?  WRONG! Austin Gamble of Cypress Bay threw almost 40 feet farther than his season best of 165-10 from last season.  When this massive throw of the disc finally reached the ground again it had been hurled 201-5.5 feet, placing Austin as not only #2 in the nation (behind super-stud Mason Finley of Colorado) but #3 all-time in the state of Florida.
