Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:47:00 GMT

Hayden Bills had broken the state discus record before – in practice. And the Rosemount senior grew a little frustrated those practice tosses hadn’t translated to competition.Bills set the state record in the shot put earlier this spring and won the state title in that event Thursday. But Saturday’s Class 3A state finals marked his final opportunity to break the state discus record of more than 201 feet.He took it down to the wire. The Arizona State commit locked up a state title in his earlier throws, but hadn’t yet eclipsed 200 feet heading into his sixth and final throw of the competition. It was now or never.“It was definitely kind of an ‘I’m going to leave it all out there,’ ” Bills said. “I’m either going to throw this in the dirt and foul it, or it’s going to go pretty far.”And off it flew. Bills delivered a beauty, catching the head wind perfectly. He instantly celebrated, knowing he’d made history.“I was done celeb...
