In 1993, Big Ben Plucknett hit a whopping 18’ 3” in the 56-pound weight for height - a record that stood until yesterday, when Mike Zolkiewicz broke it.

Throwing at the Fair Hill, Maryland Highland Games, Zolkiewicz hit 18’ 4” in the standing weight for height - talk about punching a hole in the sky!

Many thanks to Steve Pulcinella and David Barron for making sure that we knew about this huge throw.
