It was just a matter of inches (for a medal) on my last few throws.

Devin Mays: "I felt good about my race. My starts are good,
but I just need to work on finishing more because I know I can do better.

Isaiah Green "The competition was moving real fast. I felt good
getting out the blocks, but the last 10 meters I was not as relaxed as I wanted
while running into a headwind which slowed a lot of us down."
