Marcell’s winning mark of 211 feet, 4 inches in the discus outdistanced his next-closest competitor by 47 feet. He set a state record in the discus a week earlier at the Division 3 Stratford Regional Meet with a throw of 220-8, which ranked No. 2 nationally among prep boys competitors this spring. His personal-best shot put effort of 61-6.5 at the Marawood Conference Meet ranked No. 80 nationally.
