From LSU Sports Info:
Made an immediate impact during his freshman season at the University of North Carolina where he established himself as the premier young thrower in collegiate track and field. Earned All-America honors during the 2008 indoor season after finishing third in the weight throw at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a school-record mark of 72 feet, 3 inches. His mark of 72-3 in the weight throw is also a world junior record in the event. He erased any doubts that he is the premier young hammer thrower in the world with his gold-medal winning performance in the 6-kg. hammer throw at the 2008 IAAF World Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Became the first American to win the World Junior title in the event by breaking his own American junior record on his sixth and final attempt with a throw of 252 feet, 4 inches. Is the first American to bring home a gold medal in the hammer throw in any major international competition since Harold Connolly at the 1956 Olympic Games. Earned the right to represent the United States at the meet by winning a gold medal at the 2008 USA Junior Outdoor Championships with a meet record throw of 242-4. Was a two-time Track and Field News Athlete of the Year and a two-time New York Gatorade Athlete of the Year while competing for St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, N.Y. Considered the nation’s top throws recruit for the Class of 2007. Was a seven-time high school national champion as he wrapped up his high school career as a four-time national champion in the weight throw, a two-time national champion in the hammer throw and a national champion in the shot put. Is the national record holder in both the 25-lb. weight throw and 12-lb. hammer throw. Competed internationally in the hammer throw while representing the United States at the 2005 IAAF World Youth Championships and the 2006 IAAF World Junior Championships. Won a gold medal in the event at the 2007 Pan American Junior Championships in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
