Yeah, I just saw that too!
That's the "A" standard and he's going to Moscow. They also showed him celebrating with an NDSU coach.

Congratulations Riley !
Forum said his phone has been ringing off the hook since his win.
He passed on his last two attempts ... I wonder why? In any case, a GREAT win. great for Riley, great for NDSU, great for Stanley, ND, great for the entire state.
PR by 30+ feet! That's crazy! Great job Riley!
Does anyone know if the winning throw is online? I can't find it.

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
Riley - wins 2nd US Championship - June 2017.
(This is a bit of old news, happened couple weeks ago, but he deserves a mention here).
What a great accomplishment. His winning toss was 81.77 meters (268 ft 3 inches), about 5 feet shy of his all-time best.
If he can get into the top 32 he will go to the World Championships, which start on Aug 4.
His 81.77 is apparently a bit shy of the automatic qualifying standard, and if I remember right, he was about 4-5 feet shy of last years Olympic qualifying mark which was about the same standard. He is throwing consistent - his distances from the various throws are close - so I assume this means his technique is pretty darn good.
Interesting ... on iaaf.org, Riley is listed as "Jan Dolezal" from Czechoslovakia. They got his distance (81.77) and place and date of the throw (Sacramento, June 24) right. Presently he is 34th best in the world.
Nice job Riley, keep working at it. I hope you get stronger and quicker and will get the extra 5-10 feet (or more) consistently.
