Maggie Ewen Wins Silver in Pan Am Juniors Discus

Maggie Ewen finished second in the Pan Am Junior Championship discus on Saturday in Columbia.  She led the competition with her final throw, but took the silver with a toss of 50.49m/165' 7" as Brazil's Izabela da Silva had a huge last throw of 54.15m/177' 7.75".

 "I felt pretty good on my first two throws," Ewen said.  "When I got to my last one I decided I needed a big one. My legs were slow today, I was really tired. The key was just to get my mind right. I feel like I could have done more." Results with the full series of each thrower are HERE.
