Delsea graduate Jason Nwosu, a William and Mary sophomore, opened the 2024 outdoor season with a big PR, winning the Dan Stimson Memorial Invitational with the No. 4 throw in school history.
Nwosu threw 56-5 ¼ on his 3rd throw as part of a triple throws win at his home facility in Williamsburg, Va.
His previous PR with the 16-pound ball was 55-2 at the same meet last year. His 56-5 ¼ is the best throw by a William and Mary athlete in five years, since Preston Richardson threw a school-record 60-3 ¼ at the Penn Relays and K.J. Cook threw 57-0 at a home meet in Williamsburg.
Nwosu also won the discus at 146-6 and the hammer throw with a 166-2. He’s thrown 157-10 in the disc – that’s No. 10 in school history – but the 166-2 is a hammer PR. He threw 165-5 in April in a meet in Williamsburg.
Indoors, Nwosu is No. 11 in William and Mary history with a 53-1 ½ in Februry of 2023 in a meet in Blacksburg, Va., and No. 5 in the weight throw with a 61-2 ¼ last month in a meet in Annapolis, Md.
