Michelle Carter 53-0, Noah Bryant 67-6.5
Girls
US#1 Michelle Carter
Already the third best prep shot putter ever in the US off her
53-3.75 season best, Red Oak TX jr Michelle Carter was gunning for
the national record (53-7.75 Natalie Kaaiawahia CA, 1983). She didn't
get it, but she still dazzled an appreciative crowd of throwing
fans with four straight 50-foot efforts, including 53-0, which tied
for the 6th best throw ever by a US high school girl. The 53-footer
came in response to Kelli Burton's 50-3, her first ever 50-footer.
"That gave me a little push," Carter said. Burton got
a second PR of 51-6 a throw later and the Davis UT senior was delighted
to finish second to the national leader. Burton will attend Utah
State next year, and Carter has another year of high school competition
to get the record. Rachel Varner suffered a horrendous day, fouling
six straight times a week after winning the California state championship.
Carter's mighty stride
