Drew Russell's 188-Foot Cow Chip Throw World Record

Beaver, Oklahoma calls itself the Cow Chip Throwing Capital of the World, and it crowns its champions accordingly. In 2015, at the 46th World Championship Cow Chip Throw, a novice named Drew Russell entered on a whim and sailed his chip 188 feet 6 inches, shattering a world record that had stood at 185 feet 5 inches. Russell grew up in Beaver before moving to Edmond, which makes the throw a hometown story: local kid comes back, picks up a chip, and puts his name on the sport's biggest mark. A decade on, nobody has thrown one farther.
