Preferred Recruit · Track StandardsHow fast do you need to run the Discus in college? (Boys)
The marks college programs list for men's Discus, by division. Each range is the middle half of programs (25th to 75th percentile); a dash means too few programs list that level (NCAA D3 and NAIA use Target and Walk-On). High school boys throw a 1.6 kg discus; college men throw 2 kg. These are college marks with the 2 kg discus, so a high school mark will read higher than the college equivalent.

Junior colleges (NJCAA) are shown as national benchmarks, the 150th, 75th and 30th best marks in the country this season, not cutoffs. Walk-On: The minimum mark required to earn a spot on the team. Recruit: The range where coaches typically start recruiting conversations and scholarship discussions begin. Not a guarantee. Target: The marks that typically grant a full-ride scholarship, depending on school funding.
