Sad to hear of the passing of 1999 World Shot Champion C J Hunter. His personal best was 71' 9", (21.87 meters). Just shy of age 53. Way too young. #RIP CJ

Just to put this in a little perspective… Ryan Crouser’s throw would have easily won every Olympic Games. Tom Walsh’s throw would have won every Olympics except three. Nick Ponzio’s toss would have won each Olympic Shot Competitions in all but six.

We wanted to extend our sincere condolences to the family of Toby Keith. Toby quietly, without fanfare, helped support the throws a number of years ago, making a sizable financial donation to help with training expenses of several athletes. A good man gone too early. #RIPToby
