The disc comes out of her hand more pure than any thrower I've ever seen. It's the equivalent of a QB throwing a perfect spiral. Some have it, some don't.

At our team meeting every year I tell our guys someone is going to come out of the woodwork to become a star, and ask who it’s gonna be… and every year someone does. I don’t think that phenomenon exists nearly as much in any other sport as it does track.
Brought home more hardware from the CSL North Meet.
Jacob Both, conference discus champion (41.97m) and 4th in shot put (13.14m).
Max Sukenik also earns team points in both (5th disc 38.99, 6th shot, 12.70m).
Xavier Colegio PRs in discus (28.39m) to take 5th.
"The energy on the court tonight is unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced playing volleyball.”
Players and coaches gave rave reviews following Highland Park and Deerfield's outdoor match on Friday evening — a first for either program.
