Saturday's discus competition featured Vrancken finishing second in the open section at 42.81m. Podolan (40.34m, eighth) and Bradtmueller (39.56m, 10th) also placed, while Hoffman competed in the invitational section with a throw of 40.14m. Podolan added a seventh-place finish in the shot put at 12.80m.
