NEW WISCONSIN ALL-TIME GIRLS THROWS COMPOSITE RANKINGS


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 wins USATF JR SHOT PUT GOLD



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.
