NORTH ANDOVER \u2014 As Cohasset junior Nicholas Askjaer approached his final discus attempt at Thursday\u2019s Meet of Champions, he searched for one final burst of energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read more Fair or foul, Red Sox third base coach Chad Epperson was within rules stepping onto field during live play<\/a><\/p>\n

Askjaer\u2019s best throw to that point was 181 feet, though he had routinely reached the upper-180s during recent practices. But reaching his full potential in a meet setting would require perfect execution. <\/span><\/p>\n

When he released his final toss and watched the disc sail to the left, Askjaer felt a surge of relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Askjaer blew away the competition with a final toss of 187 feet, 1 inch, setting a five-foot personal best and smashing the previous meet record of 180-05 that had stood since 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

The throw was one of three meet records to fall on Day 1 at Merrimack College, with the remaining events to be held Saturday. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUsually my throws land off to the right of center, which means I\u2019m pulling out a little bit earlier,\u201d said Askjaer. \u201cSo when I saw that one headed towards the left, I knew that I got a longer acceleration on it . . . It was absolutely something that I was expecting I could do, but it feels great to see it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
