ELLAVILLE, GA — Jeremy Blue came out of nowhere in the spring to win the Class A championship in the discus. In the process, he broke a 21-year record with his throw of 167 feet, 9 inches as he became Schley County’s second athlete (Carmetrick Ross) to win a state championship in track.Blue is already throwing a college discus, which weighs almost a pound more than the high school discus, at 151 feet, which would still win the state championship. Blue is taking his throws to Morehouse College, hoping he can continue his success at the collegiate level.
“I’m amazed,” said Blue. “I didn’t think I’d be able to do it, but I’m here now, and I’m ready.”
Blue’s throw would have won all classes this year with the exception of 4A, which went to Georgia freshman football player Ray Drew.
