Jason Nwosu from Delsea continued his assault on the William and Mary record book this weekend with a personal-best in the discus a week after he recorded a PR in the shot and a few weeks after a PR in the hammer.
Competing at the Virginia Grand Prix at the University of Virginia’s Lannigan Field in Charlottesville, Nwosu on Saturday placed 2nd in the discus with a 161-4 on his 3rd throw. His previous PR was a 157-10 last April in a meet at High Point, N.C.
The 161-4 moves him up from No. 11 to No. 8 on the all-time William and Mary performance list.
Nwosu also placed 3rd in the shot put with a 57-0 throw, which is less than a foot from his PR of 57-11 ¾ from last weekend at the Colonial Relays at his home facility in Williamsburg, Va. The 57-11 ¾ ranks 3rd in school history.
He also took 7th in the hammer throw at 179-10, just two feet off his PR of 181-11 from three weeks ago at a meet at Christopher Newport in Newport News, Va. That’s No. 11 in school history.
Nwosu is one inch off the William & Mary all-time top-10 in the hammer. If he throws 182-0, he’ll join Taylor Frenia [60-2 ½, 192-7, 191-11] and [K.J. Cook 57-0, 186-1, 215-8] as only the 3rd thrower ranked in the top-10 in school history in the shot, disc and hammer.
