CDO senior Turner Washington completed his singular track and field career last week, winning another state championship in the discus. His last throw (218 feet 7 inches), was his career best, another state record. When Washington arrives at Arizona next year, things will change a bit. The discus in high school sports weighs 3.3 pounds; it is 4.4 pounds in college. It’s not likely to take long for Washington to pursue the UA discus record of 209-7 set by Adam Kuehl in 2006.Â
