LAKEWOOD — One day after receiving his diploma from Grand Junction High School, Tyler Volkmann added another feather in his cap by winning the boys discus competition at the Class 5-A State Track & Field Championships today at Jefferson County Stadium.
Volkmann had the top throw in the preliminaries: 160 feet, 11 inches.
He surpassed that by more than 9 feet with a toss of 170 feet, 1 inch on his next-to-last attempt.
