I can't think of a better way to finish an illustrious Prep Shot Put career than throwing a P.R. on your final throw at the State Track Meet. That's just what Kailee Kamps did. In what was the toughest competition of the day in the throws, Kailee had to fight through adversity to get her P.R. After watching a fellow competitor get carried out of the circle after slipping, falling and severely cutting her leg - Kailee looked tentative during prelims. However, she would not be denied. Going into finals with a throw of 39-07.50, Kailee decided she didn't want to go down without a fight to the defending champ Kennedy Blahnik. Fight back she did, with great throws in the finals, Kailee finished SILVER with a new P.R. of 45-07.25.
Outstanding work Kailee! Congrats.
