Fogarty will have the opportunity to renew acquaintances with the OK Throws winner Obiageri Amaechi, who threw 62.83, in Morton Stadium on July 11th with the Nigerian also confirmed for this year’s Morton Games. Amaechi won silver at last year’s African championships and was a bronze medallist at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
