Hackensack HS senior Stephen Mozia unloaded a 62' 4" heave to become the newest member of New Jersey's elite 60 Foot Shot Put Club. Mozia, who had a previous PR of 59' 9.5" (12/20/10), blasted the mark last night (2/23) at the Garfield Classic. This toss makes Mozia only the second NJ high school thrower to surpass 60 feet this year. He also becomes the #5 ranked Shot Putter in the nation this season.
In a report by Paul Schwartz in The Record (Bergen Co.) The throw is now the second farthest in Bergen County history, trailing only the 65'10" mark set by the great Steve Adams of St. Joseph Regional (Montvale) in 1970
