Athlete Spotlight: Kyle Fortney May 25, 2010

Maybe it was really a 167'2? Nope. It was legit and so is the tree chopping young man who has went undefeated against in-state competition this season in the discus.   A fourth place finisher in last year's Group AAA State Championships, Fortney is now contending for a Group AA state title with Fauquier's reclassification and the future Navy Midshipmen validated his performance at Colonial Forge with a series of throws over 170 feet including a 179'4" mark at the Evergreen District Championships. Fortney's mark ranks him among the top 25 in the nation and is the second best discus mark in Virginia in the past ten years during the MileStat.com era (December 2000 to present).
