A pair of boys return this season with best throws over 160 feet from a year ago. Berks Catholic's Brandon George threw a best of 164-4, while Hickory's Brock Grundy comes in with a best last year of 163-8.
Grundy comes in as the defending state champ in AA. He threw 163-4, just off his PR, to take the win at Shippensburg. After a solid winter in the shot (he earned the indoor state title), look for another big spring out of Grundy in the throws, where he'll look to add more state gold.
There are four other returning state medalists in AA back this season. Lakeland's CJ Dippre (159-9 best) took third at states last year as a freshman. Now a sophomore, he'll be in search of even more in the event. Moniteau's James Parenti (158-0 best) was fourth at states last season, while Chestnut Ridge's Duane Knisley (159-10 best) took fifth. Those boys will all give Grundy a run for his money in what will be a very competitive AA discus this season.
Kane Area's Bailey Blint is another returning medal...
