GVSU Holiday Open

Zack set a new Michigan indoor HS State records tonight at a college track meet. The video isn't the biggest throw but mom's camera went dead before the finals. I think this throw was 51'7".

16lb Shot Put - 4th place with a toss of 52'7"

35lb Weight Throw - 31st place with a toss of 38'5"
