It’s possible that the top two incoming freshmen at Arizona are shot-putter Jordan Geist of the greater Pittsburgh area, and Canyon del Oro discus thrower Turner Washington. Both were record-setting high school national champions this year and both won the New Balance national championships last week in North Carolina. Washington already has a potential rival for Pac-12 honors for the next four years: Jonah Wilson of Clovis, California, set the California prep discus record this year and has signed to compete at Washington. At the national finals in North Carolina, Washington beat Wilson by 21 inches.
