Today Kibwé Johnson competed at the 55th ANNUAL MT. SAC RELAYS in the hammer event and opened the competition with a foul. His second round throw went 76.28m which secured him the first place. Even though he could not improve any further due to the following throws being fouls and falling on his butt, nobody was able to reach his 76m throw.
