He had 4 fouls in 6 attempts. His only other mark was only 62' 8 3/4" (his 5th throw)...Clearly, something significant was going on.
I've been wonder if some minor injury has been nagging him for a while now. He threw 70'+ at that invitational in California 6 weeks ago which would've been good enough for the title in Austin. I'm assuming that he'll be working towards the 2020 Olympic trials now moving forward so hopefully he can get back in the groove he was in towards the end of the indoor season and beginning of the outdoor season.
