IAAF World Junior Champs

Walter Henning, Conor McCullough place 1-2 in Hammer

Walter Henning, the St. Anthony's, NY graduate won the World Junior Champs Gold Medal by besting Armory record holder Conor McCullough.  Henning won with a toss of 252-04 while McCullough was second on 248-11.  

Henning dominated the weight throw here at The Armory for years, taking the event to new distances and inspiring The Armory to extend their indoor throwing circle to 95 feet to accommodate him.  McCullough then came to NY the year after Henning graduated and broke his HS National record and Armory record.
