Olympian helps future Hog set discus record

Future Arkansas offensive lineman Patrick Kutas has been tutored by a U.S. Olympian, and that has resulted in him setting a school record in the discus.

Jessica Ramsey, who was on the 2020 U.S. Olympic team, set an Olympic triail record in the shot put with a toss of 66-1/4. An assistant coach for Memphis Christian Brothers High School, Ramsey has shared her knowledge with Kutas.

The school record in the discus was 171 feet, but in a recent meet, Kutas set a mark of 177-5.

“I beat it twice that meet,” Kutas said. “I threw a 174 and then I threw a 177-5.
