Jayhawk Discus Flinger Aims for 185-Foot Throw
Jayhawk rookie Gary Schwartz, with season bests of 168-6 34 and 168-5 44, eyes a 185-foot goal at the 36th Big Eight outdoor meet in Stillwater. He trails Oklahoma’s Rich Inman and Missouri’s Dick Cochran on a form chart but seeks a breakout, aiming to break the meet record set by Kansas State alum Otto in 1956. The Tigers seek their first outdoor title since 1951, while Kansas hopes for points in shot put and strong showings in the 3 mile. Friday prelims and Saturday finals will reveal the story.
