'''David Lawson Weill''' (born October 25, 1941, [[Berkeley, California]]<ref name="sportref">{{cite Sports-Reference |url= https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/we/dave-weill-1.html|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200417175235/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/we/dave-weill-1.html|url-status= dead|archive-date= 2020-04-17}}</ref>) is an American former athlete who competed mainly in the [[discus throw]].

==Biography==
While at [[Stanford]] Weill won the 1962 and 1963 NCAA. He competed for the United States in the [[Athletics at the 1964 Summer Olympics|1964 Summer Olympics]] held in [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]] in the discus throw where he won the bronze medal, an achievement magnified by the fact that he had only finished third the 1964 [[United States Olympic Trials (track and field)|US Olympic Trials]]. He also finished third on three occasions in the [[USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships|US AAU championships]]. In 1967 he threw his personal best of 62.99m at the Sacramento Invitational Meet, although this was not enough to win the event and he finished third.<ref name="sportref"/>
