Boys Summary By Pete Cava
Walter Henning (St. Anthony's, South Huntington, NY) has been the king of the prep ranks this year, setting a national high school record and dominating the annual performance list.
But sophomore Conor McCullough (Chaminade, West Hills, CA) is the son of a two-time Irish Olympian, and Erin's sons have never been know to treat royalty with respect. McCullough, a late entry for this meet, gave Henning a battle fit for . . . well, a king.
Henning opened with a toss of 243-5, but then fouled on his next four attempts. McCullough's first attempt went 240-3, and in the second round his throw was measured at 240-11. Just like Saturday's temperatures, the competition in Greensboro began heating up.
In the final round, Henning finally tucked away the win with a throw of 249-0. McCullough wound up second, with Wesley Wright (Marietta, GA) third at 214-10. “Today I had to go up against the No. 2 in the world [McCullough], which is always exciting,” said Henning. “I really struggled all day. It wasn't a good day for me at all. My last throw, the crowd really got into it. I finally let one go that didn't go foul and it was good enough to win.”
Henning's best this year, the prep record 255-11, came on May 5. McCullough's best, a sophomore class record 243-11, came thirteen days ago.
Henning plans to spend more time in North Carolina in the future. He'll enter the University of North Carolina this fall. “Next year I'm going to redshirt and just train to make the World Championships,” said Henning. “So it was good to win, because I won't be competing for a while.
“It gets better and better every year,” said Henning, who placed third here in 2004 and second in 2005 before winning last year.

Girls Summary by Elliott Denman
Thanks to Coach Mike Judge, Marietta, Ga. is becoming a hub of hammering.
Marietta’s Emily Bernhardt won it at 169-1 in 2006 and Allison Horner kept the crown in Marietta with a 166-11 heave Friday afternoon. It wasn’t close: Providence, RI’s Victoria Flowers took the silver from a distance with a 158-3 best. Just one other heaver got it out past the 150 mark - Patrice Gates of Villa Rica, Ga. at 155-0.
Horner’s a junior and so is Flowers. Gates is just a freshman and fourth-placer Lauren Chambers of Acworth, Ga. (147-11) a sophomore. Fact is, six of the top seven are underclasspersons, so there’s plenty of hope for great throwing ahead.
With Harold Connolly, the four-time Olympian and 1956 gold medalist (last American hammerman to strike gold at the Games), in the audience, these throwers had plenty of inspiration.
“It wasn’t my best I could have done, but that’s all right, I did what I had to do,” said Horner, whose 2007 best is 177-9 and was second to Bernhardt here last year at 158-5. “It was on my third turn, I kept over-placing it (a foot) every time,” she said. “And it was great having Harold Connolly here. He’s just an awesome man.”
One more Mariettan, Juliana Smith, led the first-flighters at 133-5.
