Well, somehow I missed this little gem of information last year at the 8th grade level. While Rileigh Scarvelli (Avon Lake, 2028) was having an outstanding 8th grade season in the indoor weight (51' 11") and the shot put, I missed the fact that Perry Middle School's Emily Mechenbier (Perry, 2028) won the OHSAA 7th/8th grade outdoor shot put (6 lb) with an outstanding 53' 5" effort! During the indoor season, I missed reporting that she broke Morgan Hallett's (Norton, 2023) indoor 4 kg 8th-grade record of 40' (from 2020) with Mechenbier's 40' 3 ½" @ SPIRE in early February of '24.

Now, the young Mechenbier has moved ahead Scarvelli this indoor season with her 41' 6" (4 kg) put last night at SPIRE, just 3 inches shy of Amaya King's (Mason) 2015 record of 41' 9". This should be a nice dual between these two young ladies this season!
 
 
Thread updated as Mechenbier came oh-so-close to the frosh girls' shot record with her 41' 8 1/4" win today at SPIRE, only 2 days after her 41' 6" effort.

Stay tuned!
