Despite the pouring rain coming down at the Irving “Moon” Mondschein Throwing Complex, Princeton walked away with two medalists in the throws at the 2025 Penn Relays.
Princeton junior Casey Helm ripped the biggest throw of his career in the men’s discus championship, tossing 207-11 on his fourth attempt to secure his first Penn Relays title.
Helm first took the lead with a toss of 199-11 on his first attempt to take the lead going into finals.
Competing in the shot put for Princeton, Gill St. Bernard’s alum Joe Licata tossed a PR of 63-1½ to secure a sliver medal, only finishing behind Cincinnati’s Fred Moudani Likibi (63-9).
A consistent 60+ foot shot putter in both college and high school, Licata was one of the state’s best throwers during his time at Gill St. Bernard’s, closing his career with indoor and outdoor Meet of Champions titles in the shot put in 2022.
