Crouser is obviously injured.
But Whiting?

Cantwell didn't throw. Any word why?

aghh...he wouldn't have beaten Joe today, Coach Mac's done a marvelous job with him... watch that wide sweeping drive leg, he's gained so much more whip outta the back, lands the soft right, BAM! Was hoping Jon would PR again, he actually threw 20.75 the day before. But, with only 5yrs total throws experience, coach G's just doing awesome things with these kids at UB.

Still don't understand how it is a legal competition....
the circle is noticeably higher than the throwing area?

The landing area was even with the throwing surface. The raised ring was great in allowing the fans to watch. The area from the ring up through the landing area slopes upward. Dirt and sand were used to build up the landing area to be legal.

Are their any photos that show the slope upwards to the leveled off landing area? It is hard to see from the photos that I have seen, its a great idea though.

@Simon Cleary I know! I haven't been able to find many good photos/vids that show the slope properly...
