While not a top-50 performer lister, Mercy McAuley's Kristen Berwanger moves to #4 (corrected), not #3, on the all-time Cincinnat-area list, trailing only. I missed Yvonne Colson (Madeira) best of 149' 9" from 2021 in the #3 slot.
162' 5" - Shanna Dickenson (Mother of Mercy) - 2004
151' 4" - Dawn DeHart (Loveland) - 1983
149' 9" - Yvonne Colson (Madeira) - 2021
Dawn DeHart was the Class AA state champion in both 1982 & 1983, and still holds the now 42-year old Division II Cincinnati (New Richmond) district record at 139' 5". That record is now clearly under threat. Unfortunately, Ms. DeHart lost her life to colon cancer at the very young age of 34 in 2000. I was a contemporary of hers in that era and saw her throw many times. While I wish Ms. Berwanger all the best and records are meant to be broken, it will still be a sad moment to see Dawn's mark go down should it.
