* indicates that this thrower would have made the list if each thrower or team was allowed to make the list only once. Their points will be counted in the exclusive scoring method only.
Due to the lack of available records, several years are missing for this event and no height except first place were available until the early 1970's. This means that there may be a name or two that deserved to be on these lists that are not due to the lack of information. If anyone has access to full results from 1914-1971, please forward them to us and we'll be glad to include them in this listing.
