  to a meet. With that throw, Hill went from seeded

  nineteenth after sectionals to earning a fourth place medal. I
• 0:37
  came in and wanted to win it, but the competition
• 0:40
  was very unexpected. Hill said, I came in ranked nineteenth

  and came out in fourth, so I'm just happy I needled.

  it was all up to my clap, Hill said, I

  fifty feet, but I guess it was a little short.

  had a discus medalist after Ritchie Santiago placed fifth last spring.

  two years. I'm going to be coming for the top.

  The higher, the better, Hill said, I've got two years
• 1:36
  left in my high school career and I'm hoping I
