“One of the premier throwers in the nation this spring, Gonzalez is one of just four prep athletes to crack this season’s 65/200 club, launching the shot put 65 feet or more and the disc 200 feet or better. Ranked among the Top 10 nationally in each event, one of his biggest highlights came in being the ‘Best American’ performer in the discus throw at the Penn Relays.”
