“Two top 10 national performances this spring, including an all-time ranking in the shot and a state record—wow. Morlock finished in the top four at two of the season’s most prestigious national meets and added a U.S. Top 50 hammer throw for good measure.”

Athletic Excellence


The 6-foot-3, 225-pound senior throws specialist earned All-American status by taking fourth in the shot put at Nike Outdoor Nationals this past season. Morlock’s best throw of 71 feet, one inch at the WCAL Championships set a state record and ranked as the nation’s No. 3 effort among boys prep competitors in 2024 and No. 26 in prep history. He delivered a personal-best in the discus at that same meet, winning the event with a throw of 203-9, which ranked ninth in the country this spring. He also PR’d in the hammer throw (185-8.75) in 2024, recording the nation’s No. 44 effort in that event. His sweep of the discus and shot at the Division 2 state meet led the Bobcats to third place as a team.

Academic Achievement


Morlock has maintained a 3.33 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete on scholarship at Michigan State University this fall.
