Huge discus bomb Saturday by Rutgers freshman Shawn Brady, a Mullica Hill native who attended Bishop Eustace.
The results show Brady with a 171-11, but his TFRRSS profile lists the throw as 172-0. His 52.42-meter throw converts to 171.98163, which equals 171-11 but could generously be rounded up to 172.
Either way, Brady’s previous PR was 162-6 just two weeks ago in Orlando. That 172-0 ranks 8th in Rutgers history.
His throw is No. 9 on the all-time South Jersey discus performance list, as far as I’ve been able to find.
Brady PR’d in the shot put in February at the Armory with a 51-11 ¾, No. 10 in school history indoors.
