DISCUS (PR)
“It has been amazing to watch Kaden Pastian develop into the most dominant thrower that I’ve seen in North Dakota. I am so impressed with how Kaden was able to handle the mental part of competition. It was him against his own distances. Throwing is such a technical event and frustration can set in so easily. For him to do what he did this season is nothing short of amazing.”
Jeremy Anderson
Head Coach - head coach of Thompson High
