Well, when I was a freshman in high school, my then-volleyball coach suggested that the girls on the team start weightlifting. During one of these sessions, he noticed how much weight I was doing in comparison to the other girls on the team and suggested that I give throwing a shot put a try. So I went into the first day of practice not knowing what a shot put was. By the end of that first week, I was ready for the meets. I think the main reason I do shot and discus is because they are so different.
People think that track and field is all about running and jumping.
Sound Off Tell us how you play here. At the meets, you get enough time between your flights that you have time to interact with girls from other schools. It's not like other sports where you just play the team, and you don't talk and hang out with your opponents. I would love to make State this year. But first I have to hit above 110 feet in discus and 35 feet in shot put.
