BOULDER – By Casey Malone’s calculations, throwers of the hammer – that 4 kilo steel ball that demands near-perfection in windup and release – begin to peak about 10 years into serious competition.

And that timeline draws a chuckle and a little on-the-spot math from maybe Malone’s top protégé – Emily Hunsucker.

“I had no idea it (the hammer) even existed five years ago,” she told me last week. “Literally, I didn’t know. I want to continue throwing and as far as another six years, who knows? I’m only 23. I’m extremely proud of where I’ve gotten with this thing. I figure I will keep doing this for as long as I love to do the sport and as long as I can technically afford to do it, I guess.”
