Four current throwers rank among the top 20 in this list of the top boys shot put marks over the past decade. Note that marks are PR, so in the case of Ventura senior Carlos Aviles, his best mark, which ranks 19th here, was set as a junior. 

Note that there are 59 athletes with PRs over 60 feet that past decade. That's a rare club for active high school throwers, with only six members, but two -- Jeff Duensing (No. 9) and Aidan Elbettar (No. 26) -- who are juniors. The next-highest ranked non-senior is Quinten Lyons, a junior at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame, who ranks 60th.
