Corinne Franz won her second straight WIAA D1 Girls Discus Championship Friday night in LaCrosse. Her final throw of preliminaries of 143'10" was her best throw of the day, she had 3 other throws that were good enough to win the competition, which was competed in a terrible tail wind that did no throwers any favors. As both her club and high school coach, I have seen in person her hard work and dedication to Track and Field, in the circle and in the weight room. I couldn't be more proud!
MTC throwers completed a 1-2-3 sweep of the Girls Discus. Slinger's Kiley Sabin (jr) finished 2nd with a throw of 130'0", Hartford's Sam Noennig (fr) finished 3rd with at throw of 126'9".
MTC had several other athletes qualify for state and finish the year strong. Haley Houser 8th, Paige Day 11th, Abby Jankowski 18th.
With her second gold, Corinne completes a journey that started with Madison Throws Club the summer before her freshman year of high school but will continue at the University of DePaul next year.
Congratulations Corinne! And good luck!
Note:
Corinne's win in the discus is the 14th State Championship won by Madison Throws Club Throwers.
