Pete Cava's report
Javelin throw: Three inches doesn't look like much. You can easily mark the distance between your thumb and index finger.
But that was the margin of victory for Osayi Osunde, who scored an upset victory Friday over Matt Maloney in the opening event at the Nike Outdoor Nationals. Osunde, a recent graduate of Central Columbia High School in Bloomsburg , Pa. , won with a throw of 209-3 on his fourth attempt.
Meanwhile, Maloney � an Oregon signee from LaSalle Academy in Providence , R.I. and the national prep leader at 231-5 � was second place with a third-round heave of 209-0.
�When I heard he threw 231 [on May 14], I was kind of scared,� said Osunde, who had beaten Maloney at the Penn Relays last April. �But I came here to do my job, and he did his job. My best throw, I put the tip up a little higher because it's not too windy. That way I could get it up a little higher to throw it farther.�
Osunde was on pins and needles the rest of the way, waiting for Maloney to shake down the thunder. �Two-thirty-one is ridiculous,� said Osunde. �I kept expecting him to bounce a good one in there.�
It never happened. Maloney went 199-3 in round four, fouled in round five and went 203-8 on his final attempt to came away winless for the second year in a row.
�I came here last year [when nationals were in Raleigh , N.C. ] and threw really bad,� Maloney said afterward. �I didn't want to repeat that again. I knew this year was going to be a lot better in terms of competition. The marks were a lot higher coming in. So I don't feel so bad coming in second. I had the best throw in the country this year, so I'm happy with that.�
Third place went to Robert Lasko (North Branford , CT ), who threw 199-11.

Elliott Denman's report
What's going on here? After 15 years of Nike meets, the standards for the spear event are in regession.
Palmyra, Pa. senior Meghan Briggs' winning throw of 132-8 was the shortest winning toss in five years. Just six topped 120.
All this in an event that's seen Emily Carlsten of Warwick, RI set a National record with the new-dimension spear in 1996, and Barbara Friedrich of Manasquan unleash an out-of-this world National mark of 198-8 with the "old" jav back in 1967.
