Men's Discus

John Godina was the best thrower of the first flight (why the heck did they go to that dumb NCAA flights to final format?), but his technique looked off. Each of his throws went way high, landing sideways and edge down, often digging deep into the Hayward Field turf. Godina's best throw of the first flight was his second, a high arcing throw to the right of the sector, 212-6.

The second flight was more stacked, with Setliff warming up with two practice tosses over 220 feet. His first throw ended up being his best, 219-4, way to the right of the sector.

Andy Bloom also got his best throw on his first, 206-7. Setliff threw 215-9 on his second, which also would have won the competition.

In the final, Godina improved on his fourth throw to 214-6.

Nick Petrucci gave Bloom a bit of a scare, almost relegating him to 4th for the second day in a row, throwing 206-5, just 2 inches shy of 3rd.

Bloom failed to achieve a SP/DT double, as he did in '98.
