New PR in the Discus

Germantown Academy outside of Philadelphia does the local track & field community a big favor each summer when they host their USATF-sanctioned All-Comers meets.  Gives athletes of all ages an opportunity to enjoy the sport as well as snag perhaps one last PR of the season.  Well done GA — a great mix of professionalism and hospitality!

David went into the July 16 meet determined to log another PR in the Discus.   Mission accomplished with a new best throw on the books for David of 158′ 6″!
