Discus Throw-
2019 State Champion: Hunter Hendershot (Sr., Mahomet-Seymour) 182-4
Key Athletes: Hendershot, Athan Huelskamp (Sr., Arlington Heights [St. Viator]), Josh Schmid (Sr., Marion), Clay Alewelt (Sr., Rochester), Steven Lewis (Sr., Pontiac), Jacob Waskow (Sr., Canton), Alex Anger (Sr., Galena), Barry Evans (Jr., Mascoutah), Preston Ruud (Sr., Sycamore)
Breakdown: Hendershot is the defending champion and he earned every ounce of it. He is a self-described putter who has worked diligently on his "second" craft. Still, he is a top 20 returning talent and could better if he gets above the 190-foot mark.
Huelskamp is proven to be better at throwing the plate- finishing just a few feet of Hendershot at state and later earning All-American status via the AAU ranks. If there is anyone who can overtake Hendershot as king it's Huelskamp.
Schmid and Alewelt will add depth after 160-foot seasons last year.
