Something's going on in the Calvin throwing pits. It's not just the records. It's the method. Here at Calvin the goal is to build explosive athletes. A lot of people think if you're big and strong you can throw how you want, but that's not true.
Explosion describes what the trio is doing to long-standing records.
Last year the throwers broke Zylstra's own 1988 record in the shot over 20 times. Michmerhuizen was named an All-American while Kuipers and Mayhew barely missed nationals themselves. All Kuipers has done is improve his discus marks by over 40 feet in four years. Mayhew has seen his marks jump over 30 feet in three years. So this is awesome.
