TOP THROWERS

The individual lists here attempt to combine and rank the best throwers from both disciplines. These are based solely on an athlete’s best marks, with zero consideration of wins or places or any accomplishments. They contain marks through this past weekend. The distances are converted to scores based on national lists from the past season. The scores are linked here.

There are some throwers who specialized in one event (and won a state title in that event), but didn’t throw the other one. Unfortunately they didn’t make these rankings, but you know who you are and you’re really good.

If you’re looking for the OFFICIAL official lists that stand up to the scrutiny of time, I recommend checking out Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org. There, you can see where you rank All-Time, this year, or if you’ve got a Class Record.

Kellen Kimes, Hart

Three years of competing for Hart in the State Finals, five All-States to show for it. Of course two of those All-States were titles in his prime high school event, the discus. But when Kellen gets to college, the possibilities open up. Kellen currently possesses the Michigan HS records for weight throw and hammer throw. We already saw a young Zane Forist compete in the NCAA Championship, can Kellen join him?

Mason Mayne, Lawton

His leap in the discus this year was of epic proportions. Mason finished 18^th at REGIONALS as a freshman, then this spring turned out a 3^rd place effort at State. That now makes three All-States in the throws for this sophomore, who ranks in the top-20 in the nation in 10^th grade for each discipline.

Dalton DeBeau, Frankenmuth

Coming off a junior year where Dalton placed All-State in the Shot and won the discus, Dalton was slammed with an early dose of reality, losing in both events in an opener against Alma. After that early April date, he rattled off 12 straight wins, and then later, captured his second consecutive title in the Discus.

Andrew Berryhill, Battle Creek Lakeview

Name a day, name a meet, and Andrew was throwing 58’+. On June 3^rd, that was enough to captured his second consecutive Division 1 title. His senior year was also his best in the disc, his 5^th place finish in Rockford his best yet.

Gerald Capaccio, St. Joseph

Bringing home 18 points, a huge reason why the Bears won a State Championship. His 167’2 in the discus was nearly a personal best and capped off a three week stretch where he was consistently over 160’.

Gavin Nurenberg, Pewamo-Westphalia

I think these tweets sum it up:

Ty Anthony, Coopersville

Ty capped his senior year with his best ever placing at our State Finals, grabbing 5^th in the Shot Put in Division 2. His consistent 50’+ throws during the season were a major jump from the low 40’s he threw as a junior. Although he failed to qualify in the discus, Ty ended the year ranked top-10 in the State in both events.

Michael Howey, Alma

After years of just falling short of the 50’ barrier, Michael busted through with a vengeance in Alma’s opener. From then on, he was Mr. Consistent, staying in the mid-50’s all season. That steadiness was present in early June, where he captured his first State title in a return to the Division 2 podium.

Michael Griffey, Plainwell

It’s taken two years, but Michael has earned an All-State in both the Shot and Discus. When you look at a guy like Griffey, you can’t help but compare to the past. He threw a full 10’ further in the State Finals this time around, moving up 18 places in the Shot Put. Two years ago, he was regularly tossing the disc in the 110’ range. These past two seasons, he’s been ranked in the top-15 in the state.

Lukas Ray, Wyandotte Roosevelt

May be the only one in this top-10 to double the distance on his throws over the past two years. From his sophomore year to senior year, Lukas has gone from 25’ to 57’ in the shot and 77’ to 156’ in the disc. With this tremendous improvement came a senior year where he qualified for State in both, placing in the top-12 in the two throws.
