Girls Weight Throw
Results

by Elliot Denman and Rich Gonzalez

Monroe-Woodbury High of New York State has had a distinguished all-events track record over the years and now it’s showing its strength in the girls 20-pound weight.
Kristen Callan of M-W won the Nike title at 55-10 ½ and this was the second best winning throw in meet annals, trailing only the 60-8 ¾ mark by another Kristen, Rhode Islander Michalski, here last year.
This was a tight battle that wound down to the final whirls – Callan’s winner and the 55-6 ½ silver-medal toss by Della Clark of North Cobb, Ga.
Another Georgian, Marie Stringer, grabbed third at 53-4 ½ in a competition totally dominated by the vets. The first five place-winners were seniors, with sixth-placer Lorna Finn, a junior from McEachern, Ga. leading all under-class athletes at 49-2 ½.
Safe in the books one more year is the 1997 National mark of 60-10 ½ by Pocatello, Idaho’s Maureen Griffin.

Marie Stringer
one of the most demonstrative in a demonstrative event.
Stringer slapped her face between throws to get ready.
