The Gulfport sophomore initially led the rankings during the competition in Eugene, Oregon after a strong start, but fell to fourth place following two weaker attempts. However, Fairley managed to rally, ultimately throwing over 166 feet and securing his place on the podium. Although he is a multisport athlete and is now shifting focus to football, Fairley says for him, “it’s always track season.”
