At the Fremd Throwers Invitational (Fremd H.S., IL) Wednesday night, Lake Park (IL) junior Dan Block set a new state record of 199-08 in the discus throw! Block had thrown 196-00 on Tuesday evening in a tri-meet at home, which moved him to IL #2 all-time, but moved to IL #1 with his big throw at Fremd. Block's mark also ranks him U.S. #3 among high school juniors and leaves him only four inches away from the magical 200 foot mark. While many of the distance and sprint match-ups get top billing at state, the dual between conference rivals Block and Brett Einbecker (Sr., Waubonsie Valley), who threw 191-08 two weeks back, should be a classic.
