Loesch uncorked a javelin throw of 214 feet, 8 inches at the Corvallis Quadrangular on May 2, giving him the No. 1 mark among high school athletes in the country and eclipsing the previous best of 213-3 by Bryson Jacobs of Adrian, Missouri.
Loesch's previous best was a throw 204-4, which occurred at the Hamilton Invitational on April 4. He has eclipsed 200 feet three times this season.
A senior at Corvallis, Loesch is in search of his first state javelin title. He placed third as a sophomore and second as a junior last year.
