From the sideline: Senior Sione Aho threw a personal best 144 feet, 10 inches in the discus, which moved him to No. 2 on the NPSL discus throwers this early in the season. Sione’s hard work in the weight room and constant focus on improving his technique in practice have made him a leader and example to other athletes.
