Men's Discus

'99 World Champion Anthony Washington has apparently dropped off the face of the earth. He's got a bye into the Worlds, but isn't competing here so won't be in Edmonton.

John Godina, who won the shot yesterday, is perhaps in his best shot/discus shape ever and could repeat here. In 1995 the legendary Parry O'Brien won a shot/discus national title double. Who would have thought it would take 33 years for someone to turn the trick again? In 1998 that person was Godina. Today, he should do it again.

Looking to challenge Godina is the rejuvenated Olympic Trials champion Adam Setliff. Winds at Hayward Field should prevent any big throws, but the competition will be fierce. Andy Bloom, 4th in yesterday's shot, should be anxious to make the team, but has not been in great discus form as of late.

The talent drops off after the big 3, but Doug Reynolds could sneak in with a big throw. Ex Boise Stater Jarred Rome leads the youth brigade.
