TEMPE, Ariz. -- When Kyle Long was a junior at Hempfield High School in Landisville, Pennsylvania, he attended a national meet in Oregon and took third behind two college students.

"I thought, 'I'm the business,'" Long said. "'I'm money.'"

When Long was a senior, he won the Pennsylvania state championship in both the shot put and the discus. His redshirt freshman year at ASU, he took 12th in the shot put, 10th in the discus and 11th in the hammer at the Pac-12 Championships.

"I was like, 'oh, that's pretty good for a freshman,'" Long said.
