Kevin Bookout 69-4.25

Oklahoman dominates titanic competition by making the best four throws, all over 68 feet.

RALEIGH, N.C., June 14, 2002 --- The first nine placers topped the 60-foot mark, led by the 69-4.25 heave by powerful Kevin Bookout of Stroud, Okla. Bookout's series:

68-5.25
69-4.25
FOUL
FOUL
68-1
68-5

It was a stunning competition, but the easygoing Bookout wasn’t particularly impressed by his own performance.

“My goal every meet is to get that 70-foot mark,” said the national prep leader at 70-1.5. Bookout is an Oklahoma recruit in basketball and track. Considered by many the the nation’s top schoolboy athlete, Bookout is also an excellent baseball player who finished his prep career with 65 home runs. He also owns a 95 mile-per-hour fastball.

Was Bookout confident coming in? “Oh, a little bit,” he said. “But they’re [the other shot putters] all great guys. You just come out here and see what the Lord can do for you. It feels great to be a national champion. It feels really good.”

Defending champ Glenn DiGiorgio (Bayonne, N.J.) was second with 67-6. Others over 60 feet were Garrett Johnson (Tampa, Fla.), 65-11.75; Brian Robison (Splendora, Texas), 64-6; Joe Thomas (Brookfield, Wisc.), 64-4; Will Denbo (Nashville, Tenn.), 64-0.25; Tyg Long (Custer, S.D.0, 63-7.5; Brandon Houle (Oshkosh, Wisc.), 62-8; Dane Miller (Reading, Pa.), 61-6.25; and Tyler Curtis (Custer, S.D.), 60-8.

Long and Curtis are teammates at Curtis High School, located in South Dakota’s Black Hills. No other school has two 60-foot performers this season.
