Rosselli threw the shot 68-9 inches at the Legends Invitational in Walla Walla in late-April, a little more than a foot shy of the nearly 50-year-old state record. His career best in the discus is 218-7, set last year at the the Arcadia Invitational. The national high school record is 237-6, set by Olympic champion Ryan Crouser in 2011.
