Now that Clever’s collegiate career is over, he will face even tougher competition. His performance in meets this summer will determine how much of his future he will dedicate to throwing. Clever was a U.S. Olympic Trial competitor in 2000.
“I’m still going to throw at U.S. Nationals and at some meets in Finland and Sweden and see how I progress,” Clever said. “That might change how seriously I throw.”

Despite the defeat at NCAAs, Clever still had a strong season. He remains the Penn Relays champion, the IC4A champion, and the three-time defending Heptagonal champion.
“I had a great season,” Clever said. “I PRd week after week. Hopefully I’ll continue to throw well, and learn from NCAAs.”
