Dan Block Breaks 200 Feet in Discus!

Lake Park (IL) junior Dan Block continued his domination of the throws in Illinois this season, furthering his state record in the discus with a 201-05 toss at a tri-meet Tuesday evening against East Aurora and Streamwood. The standout thrower also won the shot put in 60-05. Block has shown steady progress this spring, topping the 190+ foot barrier three times now. Block's chief competition, Brett Einbecker (Sr., Waubonsie Valley), threw 182-00 in the discus Tuesday night as well in a dual meet with Neuqua Valley. The year of the discus is looking good in Illinois!
