It's no secret that Minnesota is one of the toughest state meets to get into across the US. Thankfully there were no suprises out of Section 1AA. With four of the top give shot putters in the state coming out of Section 1AA let's just be thankful that they all survived via standard and will compete next Friday at Hamline in what should be one of the meet's marquee events.
Dehn (back) won the meet with 62-6, Stanford-bound Sean Wallace (left) finished second at 58-1, Red Wing sophomore Luke Johnson was third at 54-7 and Farmington junior Logan Hussung came in fourth at 54-6 all surpassing the state standard of 54-4. The next in what is becoming a emerging tradition of Owatonna throwers, sophomore Jake Fensky (right) finished 5th at 53-1.
Discus will be held Saturday at Lakeville South. There are five throwers who have thrown over the state standard this season (153-9). Dehn (187-6), Johnson (173-2), Hussung (161-3), Wallace (159-9) and Owatonna junior Brian Vargason (159-11) should all be in a good position to advance to Hamline.
The super sophomore out of Red Wing will have his chance for revenge against Dehn and Wallace in the discus on Saturday at Lakeville South. Johnson's marks rank him as the second best sophomore in the history of MN in both of shot put and discus, behind only current record holder Nate Englin (61-8 1/2, 2002) and former state record holder Mike Yonkey (174-4, 1985).
