Shelbi Vaughan's June 9 series at the Golden West Invitational:
foul | foul | 185' 4" (56.51m) | 193' 11" (59.11m) | foul | foul

Today I had an AMAZING practice but I'm not going to say anything because I don't want to jinks it!!

Shelbi Vaughn - Girls Discus Throw 212' Warm-Up - Golden West Invitational 2012 video

Germany's Rüh aiming to better her role model Dietzsch at World Juniors - Barcelona 2012
"I had been throwing in training over 60 metres so it does not come as a surprise what I've been able to achieve in competition. I'm also stronger competing than when I'm practising, because there is also the added factor of having the adrenaline flowing," commented Rüh rather modestly.
"A demonstration of Rüh's likely status as the thrower to beat in the Catalan city can be gauged from the fact that the next best thrower on the 2012 world junior rankings is China's Gu Siyu with 60.59m, almost three metres in arrears. What also caught the eye of observant athletics fans at the traditional Hallesche Werfertage throwing meeting last month was not only the outstanding distance she produced but also the implement she used to achieve it. It was a recognisable black discus that Dietzsch had used to win her third and final world title in Osaka five years ago."

Yayyy broke the record again but twice in one meet ,first throw in finals 196' last throw in finals 198' 11"

[gktrack]

Currently #7 on the 2012 US open list, and a USOT "A" qualifier(60.00m). Also, I believe official mark was 60.59m according to live results:

yes, which is 198-9, not 198-11.

Absolutely unbelievable that they'd be running off a national champs and publishing the results in metric-only!!!!

An amazing discus competition just ended at the german NCs in Wattenscheid. Nadine Müller won with 66.47m, followed by Julia Fischer, 63.21m. However the two juniors (both born 93), Anna Rüh and Shanice Craft, really duked it out until the very end. Shanice Craft had five attempts over her previous best, and was in third place with 62.92m until Rüh's last throw, where she threw a PB of 63.14m. With that last throw Rüh secured her spot for London, otherwise Craft would have been nominated.

Can someone explain this to me...

Interesting catch... T&FN also lists Suzy Powell as the USA Jr. record holder at 58.06, in either case, should Shelbi be the new USA Jr. record holder at 60.59? I thought a junior was defined as "any athlete of 18 or 19 years on 31st December in the year of the competition", and Sua was born Feb 25, 1978 (http://www.usatf.org/athletes/bios/TrackAndFieldArchive/2006/Sua_Seilala.asp), so I'm confused as well. Could Sua's mark at the '97 Jr. meet been set at a non-certified location, thus not allowed for record purposes?

Shelbi Vaughan - AJR 60.59 in wDT!

and I'm assuming with nothing like the hurricane-force winds she had at the GWI last week....

... the sprint events during the time of the discus were -0.2 to -1.8 mps, and the long jumps winds were approx. +1 to +2 mps, so ballpark, no huge wind advantage?... making her set of throws that much more impressive.

Here's a link -- doesn't include a diagram or details of the layout, but has an image that indicates the layout. The long jump runway is parallel to the sprint -- and at this moment I can't remember if it runs the same direction as the sprints or not -- haven't been there in a few years. I'm sure someone will post w clarification.http://www.iuhoosiers.com/facilities/in ... haugh.html

The Throwers of track & field Facebook page has photos and discussion re wind conditions at both meets.

Does useful mean 'notable' in this context?

No... means the performance he needed for the win.

Oh, okay- thanks.
I see it a lot in European descriptions of athletics results and always wondered. The word is never used at all in American news summaries, at least not in that context. Now I know!

I think when they use it that mean it was a good performance.

[leoesharkey]

Useful performance would mean very good notable, but not exactly stellar thus 65m to his sister's 70m+

[Powell]

For the first time in the history of WJC, all medalists were over 60 meters. Not even in the 1980s did that ever happen. And actually, in the previous 10 editions combined only two women did it

Setting high goals for myself in discus this year ... Shooting for the American record but not settling with any less than 215!

[tandfman]

I like that. Aiming high is good. I just hope she doesn't get unduly discouraged if she falls a little short of that goal for the season.

[bushop]

I wonder who is working with Vaughan as far as goal setting and perspective?
