Hey Joe!

PSU Track Alum (Golfer) Joe Kovacs just beat the #1 Shot Putter in the world (Ryan Whiting, another honorary PSU Track Alum (Golfer)) and the Olympic Champion, Tomasz Majewski in the same meet.

I don't understand much about shot putting, and with my PR of about 12 feet, not many will listen to my ramblings about it.  But I do know how much toil and effort over a long period of time it takes for someone to crack the 70 foot barrier.  Congrats, Joe.

So here's video of Joe's toss and Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe"*



*The lyrics and over-all tenor of the song have nothing to do with Joe Kovacs, it's just a little bit of old-time music goodness for the elderly among us who actually were alive for Woodstock and its aftermath.
