Malicah Etienne is off and running in his first season of collegiate outdoor track with the 5th-best discus throw in Georgian Court history.
Etienne, a freshman from Cinnaminson, threw 157-8 with the 4.4-pound college discus at a meet in West Long Branch. He had a high school PR of 177-4 with the 3.5-pound disc.
That 157-8 is the best throw by a Georgian Court thrower since 2019 and less than five feet off the school record of 162-0 set at a meet in Galloway Township in 2017 by Joseph Kaas, who was from Governor Thomas Johnson High in Frederick, Md. No. 2 on that list is Delsea’s Bill Goldsborough, who threw 161-6 at a meet in West Long Branch in 2019.
Etienne threw 53-9 ¼ indoors in February at Ocean Breeze, which is No. 3 on the Georgian Court all-time list.
