AAA Girls' Shot Put

It's been quite a career for Cocalico's Emily Stauffer. The Missouri-bound senior has done just about everything in the sport. But Stauffer has yet to win an outdoor state championship. After a fourth place finish last year, this is Satuffer's last chance and she seems more prepared than ever to get it done.
Stauffer has thrown in the 48s on multiple occasions this season and enters with a seed over three feet better than the next closest competitor. Stauffer will look for that storybook ending to her high school career at states.
Kutztown's Jocelen Ruth will look for the upset. Ruth is PA-AAA#3 after a 43-10.25 at Hempfield earlier this season. Greencastle-Antrim's Jenay Faulkner had a huge breakthrough at the District 3 Championships, PR'ing by over three feet to take third place. Al of a sudden, she's become a contender.
Cheltenham's Ashley Alexander, JP McCaskey's Aliyah Striver, Berwick's Payden Montana, and Shaler's Julia Bernesser will be ones to watch as Stauffer shoots for that slusive state title.
