Harrison landed a toss of 20.48m (67'2.25") to secure ninth.

"It's about as cool as it gets seeing a former Owl and a current coach of ours break a world record," Director of Track and Field
Cale McDaniel said. "We have such a fun and dedicated group in the throws at Kennesaw. Daniel is such a great example for all our athletes on commitment and dedication to your craft. Congrats to Coach Mike,
Isaiah Rogers,
Anthony Harrison and
Paris Williams on representing so well on the biggest stage."
"Daniel is the hardest worker and most focused athlete a coach can ask for, assistant coach
Mike Judge said. "I could not be more proud of his performance today." Isaiah had an amazing performance as well. He finished second only to his training partner, Daniel. These two guys are amazing competitors"
