*Faith Bender showed improvement in both the shot put and discus over the last 2 years
- - -
Lots of things can happen in two years.
Let's take Leslie Young for example.
In the shot put, she almost had an 11-foot improvement. In the discus ring, she had a similar story of being able to throw almost four feet further.
Faith Bender, who happens to be US No. 1 in the discus this season, also improved in both throwing events.
Both of these athletes showed tremendous growth. There are over 700 athletes in both throwing events who improved over the last couple of years just like Young and Bender.
Check out the links below to see who improved in the shot put and discus in the last two seasons.
