Middle School, High School and College - beginner through advanced; MTC has been helping hundreds of throwers become their best since 2002. MTC offers summer, fall, and winter sessions, one-on-one coaching and small and large group clinics year-round in Madison, Wisconsin.
Here is the UPDATED RANKINGS reflecting all of the results from the 2017 season.
WISCONSIN ALL- TIME COMPOSITE
RANKINGS for the GIRLS THROWING EVENTS. Of the TENS of thousands of prep girls
who have picked up a shot put and discus in Wisconsin over the past 50
years, only 19 girls have throws that rank in the top 50 of BOTH the
SHOT PUT and DISCUS events. The COMPOSITE RANKING adds each athlete's
rank on the top 50 ALL-TIME LIST in both events. The lower the score,
the better the combined ranking.
A HUGE congratulations to Josie Schaefer (Baraboo '17), for moving up on
the list to #1 ALL-TIME, passing Samantha Noennig and Kennedy Blahnik who were previously tied for #1.
^ MOVED UP ^
Josie Schaefer
Josie moved up 20 spots on the Shot Put list in her senior year. Capping a career were she had already collected 2 State Discus titles and the #1 best discus throw in WI Prep history. Her Shot Put P.R. of 47'8" came on her final throw of the state meet to win her 1st Shot Put State title surpassing reigning shot put champ, Erin Dunning by 4.75". Her P.R. tied Angela Boushea for the 5th best throw in State History.
> MOVED ON >
While there was some movement of positions of the top 19 on this year's list, no athletes moved on the list.
V MOVED OFF V
As we continue to see massive improvements in the Girls SHOT PUT and
DISCUS around the state, no one was moved off the list this year. Erica Bailey holds on to the #18 best combined spot, however her 43'10.25" shot put mark stands at #48 on the all-time shot put list and could get bumped next year. Elizabeth Robe holds the #19 combined spot, but her 140'9" discus P.R. from 2004 stands at #48 on the discus list and could get wiped off the top 50 list next year.
THE STANDARD
How much have GIRLS pushed the standard forward? Want to be considered one of the best WI Prep throwers of all time? You'll need to THROW BIG and THROW FAR...
The new standard to make the Top 50 LIST in 2018:
#50 Shot Put 43' 10"
#50 Discus 140' 08"
THROW BIG, THROW FAR!

Sam Noennig has thrown some shots and discs pretty far in her life. Her performance at the USATF JUNIOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS in Sacramento, CA over the weekend was her biggest performance of her life on the biggest stage to date. Sam bested the field of the top 21 under-20 year old shot putters in the country with a new lifetime best of 55' 0.75" (16.78m). This comes after a red-shirt season at Arizona State University that allowed Sam to train under coach Brian Blutreich but compete sparingly unattached. Winning the meet will allow Sam to represent the United States at the JR. Pan-American Games in Peru later in July. It is the 2nd U.S. Team Sam has made, she competed in Columbia at the World Youth Games in 2015 after qualifying in the Discus with fellow Wisconsinite Josie Schaefer.

She saw big improvements in the Discus as a junior finishing the season with a P.R. of 143' 7" and finished 4th at State. Good luck future Gopher!

Rhys will be attending Bucknell University. Rhys swept the Madison City Outdoor Shot put and Discus titles as a junior. His 49'11" shot P.R. and 145' 3" discus P.R. are huge improvements, yet are just a hint of what he is capable of in the future. Best of luck Rhys as you join the Bison of Bucknell.

She closed out the summer with a 3rd Place finish at the USATF Junior Championships where she had the best discus throw in Wisconsin state history 176'3". With a senior season to go Josie potentially could move the all-time mark even higher!

A couple of years ago I thought it would be cool if the ALL-TIME list for Wisconsin High School Track and Field performers had video of the actual marks. Boys and Girls Shot Put and Discus top throws? Top 10? Top 30? Top 50? I thought it would be a great device for coaches and athletes to see what made some of the great throwers in state history great. But also inspire the next generation of throwers more than just a list of names and numbers could.
Instead of wishing it I decided to see if I could start compiling it myself. I knew this would be a difficult task. How hard? I'm just getting started, so ask me later...
Obviously, there are some throws that do not have any video - however, my suspicion is there are a lot of throws on VHS tapes in a box in someones basement collecting dust.
So here is an ALL CALL to coaches, parents, athletes and track and field enthusiasts. What do you got?
Please contact me if you've got anything. Leads, film, vhs, High 8, dvds, links to youtube files...
