The American Olympian is a two-time medalist in hammer throw in the World Junior Championship. It started in 2008 when he won the silver medal in his personal best throw of 75.88 m at the World Junior Athletics Championship. He converted that to gold in the 2010 World Junior Championship while competing for Princeton University at a distance of 80.79 m.

However, what makes Conor legendary is his 14-year-old uncontested throw that athletes still haven?t been able to break. The throw that he did at the National Scholastic Indoor Championship (NSIC) in 2009.

A throw beyond reach for over a decade

The NCAA champion Conor McCullough made a high school record throw of 28.43 m in the weight at the NSIC meet in 2009. The record has remained uncontested on this very date. No one in 14 years has broken that record. The @throwersuniverse posted a video on their Instagram account where Conor was seen making the legendary throw that no one has ever bested, @throwersuniverse wrote with the video, ?Conor McCullough?s high school record in the weight is something ELSE (via: Alec Faldermeyer, AZSportResearch)?.?

The athletic world is still amazed by the throw. It is hard to imagine that the record will ever be broken. With the quality of weights now, with the types of balls, he would?ve thrown 90 or 95ft. That video still serves as the most impressive hammer throw in the history of high school athletics. The career graph of the athlete bears a testament to his capabilities of the athlete

Apart from that, in 2012, he qualified for the Olympic trials. Qualifying for the Summer Olympics in 2016, he was the top American in the Olympic Hammer throw standings. What makes the video and the record so special is the technical prowess that Conor showed during the event. There were not a lot of height and weight advantages with him, but the way he just threw it was very skillful at an elite level.
