EUGENE – After $270 million was spent on the new renovations to Hayward Field at the University of Oregon, they may need to pay to extend the shot put landing sector for Ryan Crouser. On his fourth throw of the evening, the 2016 Olympic champion took ownership of the world record with a 23.37-meter throw.
Crouser has been on a historic tear since the start of the year. In March, he broke the indoor world record and has openly spoken about the world record being his goal since 2017.
“I felt like I was 10 pounds lighter as soon as that popped up on the leaderboard,” Crouser said.
