Huge Improvement For Junior Since 05 By SteveU Woodmore (Lindsey) OH jr Emily Pendleton came to NON last year as a soph, got off one fair throw of 124 feet, and finished 19th. What a difference a year makes. Pendleton started the year making noise among the national leaders with throws in the 150s. Even then, national observers couldn’t have seen what was coming. She improved her PR several times during the spring, finally hitting 172-8 before her state meet, and ruled the national list. Returning champ (and shot put winner from Friday) Harding Kamorean Hayes had her work cut out for her. But Hayes, a 162-foot thrower, was off and hit just 144-00 for 7th. And no one else could really challenge Pendleton. She started out at 157-01, with Park View-Sterling VA’s Natalie Baird coming close to matching her at 155-06. That would be Baird’s best throw, however, and the worst for the champ-to-be. Four of Pendleton’s next five throws would be 162-00 or better, including the winning 166-03 on whirl number four. She totally dominated the competition, with Baird hanging on for second. Like most great champions, the winner wasn’t completely satisfied, hoping for that big PR mark. “I was very consistent and I’m happy with that,” she said. “I just wished I could have popped a big one.” She added that there was a decent wind for throwing, but she wasn’t used to the heat. And “technically, it was pretty good. But I needed to work on standing up at the beginning more.” Pendleton, Hayes, and six of the top seven will return next year – and Baird is just a sophomore – so watch out.
Emily Pendleton, the Woodmere of Lindsey, Ohio junior, came in She did not disappoint - whirling out all six throws longer than Pendleton expects to be back at NON 2007 and take one more shot at the meet Said Pendleton: "I've won (Ohio) States for three years in a row, so Licensed to C.F.P.I.
