FAVORITE MEMORY - “My favorite memory from Spring Track would have to be from the Paul H. Beck meet in April 2019. I had just started track that year and had only been throwing for about 6 weeks. I swim and the meets can be long, but this track meet was something new for me. I threw shot and than waited maybe 5 hours to throw the discus. It was cold, I was tired, and felt like I was going to throw horribly. My first two throws could have been better. I tried a stand throw and than a spin and it was a foul. For my last try I went back to a stand thrown and I hit a personal best of 81 feet. This allowed for me and my relay partner to place 3rd. It was an extremely exciting moment for me because I had thrown 21 feet further than I had at the relay meet two weeks prior and was able to greatly improve thanks to my coaches."
