On a very cold and cloudy Wednesday afternoon at Elk Grove High School
junior Aaron Tombleson of Woodland High School opened his season with a
54'11 1/2" shot put and 152'7" Discus effort. The meet between Woodland and
Elk Grove was a non-scored practice dual. Tombleson has measured several 57+
efforts on the 12lb ball in practice and promises to eclipse the school and
meet record at the upcoming Woodland Invitational on Saturday, March 15. The
current record is held by 2000 graduate John Newell with a 58"3 1/2 effort
who copmeted in the 2000 state meet and now competes in the weight events
for University of Georgia. Other recent grads of Woodland High School who
have competed at the top level in the state include Jill Camarena (50'11 /
161), Katie McKeever (45'4" /162'3") and Maureen Pacheco (44'5' /136'10")
