DeAnna Price Sets an American Record

The 2021 Tokyo Olympics are just around the corner and athletes everywhere are seeing the rewards and fruit of their years of sacrifice and hard work.

This is especially true in the individual sports – gymnastics, swimming and diving, and track and field come to mind immediately. As Americans, Track and field is a sport that has long held our fascination.

We love powerful athletes. We love fast athletes.  We love the fact that the best can be measured by objective means.

There are no playing time issues. If you think you are better than someone else, then this can be proven by throwing farther, jumping higher, or running faster.

That is why what happened in the hammer throw competition at the U.S. Track and Field Trials is so awesome and so impressive.

DeAnna Price set an American record with her throw, which also happened to be the second-best in history.
