BILL NIEDER - .Best Performance: 62'2 11 Achievement Points: 159 I 1' In distance BillNieder is,s~o_nd only to Parry O'Brien with a b~st put of 62'2". A record-breaker as a jwuor, he has made remarkable progress in spite of a $erious knee injury to hold ~e high rating he does. While at Kansas University, Nieder- was '"NCAA champ in 1955. In .1956 he was 2nd in the NCAA,1 4th in the AAU, 3rd in the Olympic Trials and 2nd 1 l in the-Olympic Games.' His best year 1 however, was in 1957 wl}en he went unbeaten through ou~ the year., beating . O'Br~en in their only meeting and winning the AAU~ The k:n~e injury \ ha,s undoubtedly ·affected Nie'cier's 1 perfQ~mances both physically and psycJ;iologically. It has \ prevent~d him from reaching the heights / p~omised by bi:S early progress and it has yet to be _J), ,seen ~hether he will ever reach the· sam'e peak again. , In 1958 he suffered a bad hand injury. , ,_ f' ~ \ · · 2nd Olympic Games 1952 8 Puts over 57V 7 7 1st AAU 1957 - 6 Puts over 58' 18 32 '3rd AAU '1955 ,~1 Puts over.GO' 9 27 . 1st NCA~ 1955 a- Puts over :62' 1 5 .2nd NCAA "-- 1956 2 ,3rd Olympic _Trials 1 1956 \ 1 2nd All-Time ,List--1958 19 1 1.,., .•, \ "- ' 3rd World List 1955 8 3rd U.S. List 1955 3 ~ ~nd World List , 1956 9 2nd U.S. List 1956 4 ,l 1st World List , 1957 10 1st u. s.

In • 19?6 Bantum won the AA,U, NCAA and wassecond in _tlle Olympic Tr,ials. This together with his 60' performance stamped Bantwn at . 21 as a real prospect for the future and even O'Brien tipped ltim a future world record holder.
