Ryan Crouser Biography

Ryan Crouser is one of the most popular and richest Athletics Competitor who was born on December 18, 1992 in Portland, Oregon, United States. Crouser was born in Portland on December 18, 1992 and raised in Boring. Crouser is from a thrower family. His father, Mitch Crouser, was an alternate on 1984 Olympic discus teams, his uncle Brian Crouser qualified to two Olympic javelin teams, while his uncle Dean Crouser, a great shot putter and discus thrower was his uncle. He has two cousins, Sam and Haley, who are both javelin throwers. Although he started track and field in fifth grade he was not as proficient as his cousin Sam. He made his breakthrough in eighth grade and ninth grade.

Crouser, a Texas Longhorns freshman, placed fifth in shot at 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships. He also placed fourth in discus at the Outdoor Championships. Crouser sustained a hand injury at the NCAA Indoor meet and it also affected his outdoor season.

Crouser suffered from infections during the next off-season, and his weight dropped heavily; he redshirted the 2013 indoor season to regain full health. He returned to action for the outdoor season, throwing a personal best 21.09 m (69 ft ​2 ⁄4 in) at the Big 12 conference championships; he won his first NCAA championship title in the shot put that summer with 20.31 m (66 ft ​7 ⁄4 in), but only placed eighth in the discus. Crouser, who had been successful academically, began to struggle somewhat with the heavy workload during his second year at Texas; he had originally planned to major in engineering, but switched to economics after that year.

Crouser won his first NCAA indoor shot put title in 2014, throwing 21.21 m (69 ft 7 in) and winning by almost four feet. He was briefly the outdoor world leader after improving his personal best to 21.27 m (69 ft ​9 ⁄2 in) at the Texas Relays on March 28. At the Big 12 outdoor championships he set personal bests and new meeting records in both the shot and the discus, with throws of 21.39 m (70 ft ​2 ⁄2 in) and 63.90 m (209 ft 9 in) respectively; it was the first time he broke 70 feet with the 16 lb (7.26 kg) shot. Crouser won his second consecutive shot put title at the 2014 NCAA outdoor championships, with a heave of 21.12 m (69 ft ​3 ⁄2 in), but injured his foot in the process; he had also qualified for the final in the discus, but was forced to scratch from that event.

Crouser was injured in his foot during 2010 and Crouser missed the entire season. Crouser returned to peak form in 2011, setting the indoor national high school record for the 12 lb (5.44kg) shot put at 77 feet 2/4 inches (23.54m). This mark placed him second behind Mike Carter’s outdoor record on all-time high school lists. He also broke the national high-school discus record, throwing 237 feet 6 inches (72.40m), to one foot more than Mason Finley’s 2009 record. Crouser graduated from Barlow High in 2011; he decided to attend the University of Texas over the Oregon family.
