Nguyen Wins Hammer With Day 1 PR

ARLINGTON, Texas – Their start may have been delayed by the weather, but Camille Burge and Charles Nguyen made the most of their nearly three-hour wait.

Nguyen picked up something from Burge as he threw 202-6.00 on his final throw to win the competition. Nguyen had three legal throws with two fouls before his winning effort. In addition to winning the meet title, Nguyen improved his career best by nearly 8 inches.
