AA Girls' Javelin Preview
It's been an incredible career for Mount Carmel Area's Maura Fiamoncini, who will look to cap it off on a high note with another AA state title in the javelin. The Bucknell signee has had a great senior campaign, winning at every corner with the exception of the Penn Relays, where she took second to national record holder Madison Wiltrout. But Fiamoncini also launched a career best there, with a throw of 160-0, which very nearly won her the competition.
Fiamoncini is a gamer and it will be hard to stop her this weekend from defending her title.
Millville's Morgan Bower comes in as PA-AA#2 after a 151-11 at Susquehanna earlier this season. She was second to Fiamoncini at District 4 and should be in contention after a 12th place finish last year. North East's Lillian Hill sits at PA-AA#3 after a 144-5 to win her county meet. The District 10 champ has had a very strong junior season and will compete hard at Ship.
District 9 is flushed with talent. Johnsonburg's Skylar Sherry tossed a huge PR of 140-4 (and proved one writer wrong) to take that title over Moniteau's Cambrie Campbell and Kane Area's Trinity Clark. All three will go for high finishes this weekend. Campbell was third in the state last season.
Derry Area's Kara McDonald took home the WPIAL title and comes in seeded fourth to this weekend. Bishop Carroll's Brittany Krug, Penn Cambria's Jadyn Tiracave, and Mercer Area's Bryanna Fedorchak will also be in the hunt for medals at states.
