Glenn Digiorgio NJ 213-04


Glenn DiGiorgio and dad after meet record throw on his last attempt.
It is the second meet record in the family, as Glenn's brother, Kevin, still holds
the meet record in shot put on his 69-8.25 throw in 1997. A third brother is in the wings.

In one of the most spirited second-day contests, the outcome wasn’t decided until the final round. That’s when defending champion Glenn DiGiorgio of Bayonne, N.J., took a permanent lead with a personal best of 213-4.

With five 200-foot performers in the field., the top three finishers obliterated Vikas Gowda's 1-year-old meet record of 199-2. Michael Robertson (an American dependent living in Brussels, Belgium) was second at 208-10, with Akron football recruit Gabriel Gonzalez (Elizabeth, N.J.) third at 200-1.

“That kid,” said DiGiorgio, indicating Robertson, “threw 208 [a meet record] on his first throw. The only way to come back to something like that is to throw your best. Only a real competitor can do that, and that’s what I did.”

DiGiorgio’s winning throw bettered his previous PR by two feet. “I knew I had it in me,” he said. “My last throw, all the pressure was on me. The more pressure, the better I throw.”

Kevin Bookout (Stroud, Okla.), winner of Friday’s shot put and the champion in this event as a sophomore in 2000, was fourth at 197-4. Fifth was another Garden Stater, Adam Kuehl (Tinton Falls) at 196-10. Sixth-placer Brian Robison (Splendora, Texas) threw 192-10, well off his season best of 215-2, the year’s top mark.

DiGiorgio, still undecided about college, was runnerup to Bookout in the shot. Robertson, an American who attends the International School in Brussels, was making his debut on U.S. soil. Robison had placed fourth in the shot.
