Preseason Thrower outlook

[Fighting Colonels]

With football just about to wrap up, many athletes will begin there transition into the track season. Last year as expected Bryan Hudson swept both shot and disc with no one even near competing with him. Unfortunately Bryan tore his ACL and what should have been a record setting year ended up being a year trying to get back to where he was the previous year.

 

This upcoming season will be one of the most wide open seasons we have seen in a while. Bryan the past four years has dominated these two events and his name is right up there as one of the best throwers in Kentucky history. The throwers returning next season are so close together that predicting a winner now or even in may would be foolish Its anyone's game this year, all they have to do is take it.

Early season NKY updates:

Wilson Pendleton, Ryle - A 49-2.5 last weekend during the Stan Steidel Invite at Holmes. That's currently ranked sixth in the state.

Pawsat threw a pair of KY #3s at a Tower Park triangular meet a couple of weeks ago: 51-7 and 155-2.

Luke Stegman of Cov Cath: A 48-3 (KY #8) at the LaSalle Legends Classic a few weeks ago, and a state leading 158-3* at the Diocese of Covington Meet a few days after.

* Luke's throw in the discus broke a 37 year old school record. That mark was set by former CCH QB John Darpel, who was a two time state champion in the event.

Congrats Luuuuuke! 💪

Andrew Hardwick of Boyle County threw a 49-9 (KY #4) and a 126-5 at the Clash of the Classes IX meet in Bardstown last weekend. Both are really good marks for a sophomore.

I tell myself every year - don't forget about WKY, and well ...

From last month at the Invitational of the South:

Ben Fiser, a junior at Marshall Co. threw a 52-2.5 SP (KY #1), and a 157-2 DT (KY#2).

Chase Thompson, a senior at Marshall Co. threw a 49-6.5 SP (KY# 7).

 Ben has his own throwing ring and has all the implements for all throwing events for high school and college. He's worked very hard and has made big strides the last 6 months. He'll be a force this season and next. 

His brother was a good thrower for Marshall County also and throws hammer at Illinois State. 

[KY Outsider]

Harrison Pawsat from Highlands threw 54'10" and Wilson Pendleton from Ryle threw 51'11" at the Anderson Invitational this past Thursday.

Luke Stegman of Cov Cath (3A) added 3 feet to his PR at the Donnie Carnes meet Saturday. His 161-3 retakes the KY #1 spot from Ethan Rice of Marion Co.(2A) 159-0.

I think Luke hits 170' before season's end. He's the latest in a long line of Colonel "weight" men.
