King’s High track and field standout Michael Davis has been named a high school All-American in the javelin by Track &Field News.

Davis launched a 212-foot, 5-inch throw last August at the Junior Olympic Track and Field Champion-ships in Eugene, Ore. It was the fifth-best prep throw of the 2003-04 season.

Davis, a junior, captured a Class 1A state championship last spring with a top throw of 187 feet, 8 inches.

His heave was nearly 19 feet longer than the second-place finisher, and it would have ranked him No. 1 at the Class 4A state meet.
