Walter Henning of US Automatic Qualifier First flight!!

 
Walter Henning threw an automatic qualifier behind the screen of the huge and
tunnel like cage

Meet Summary: Walter Henning (St. Anthony's, South Huntington, NY) continued to impress. He came very close to the auto qualifying of 232-3 on his second throw and then got the auto qualifier on his third and final attempt, tossing the implement 234-7. Henning was one of eight auto qualifiers, led by meet record holder Yuriy Shayunou ( Belarus) who got off a big 251-10 throw on his first attempt. Only one other American has ever made the hammer final at this meet, and that was Nick Welihozkiy in the 2000 Championships in Santiago, Chile. Welihozkiy finished ninth (191-4) using the 16 pound implement. In that event, there were only 14 competitors and the event was a "straight final". In the case of Henning, it is the only time that an American made the final when there were qualifying rounds and, beyond that, the first ever to achieve an automatic qualifier.
