The throws have it! Fawn Miller and Justin Shirk are the 2009 Gatorade Athletes of the Year for PA

Lakeview rising senior Fawn Miller and recent Central Dauphin grad Justin Shirk are the 2009 Gatorade Players of the Year for Pennsylvania. Shirk is the first back-to-back winner since Norristown's Ernie Terrell in 2000 and 2001. That makes three of the past five years that a Central Dauphin athlete has been so honored - Ryan Whiting won the award in 2005. Miller and Shirk hold the all-time PA bests with the new javelin - 167-2 by Miller in 2008, and a 235-3 by Shirk this year. Shirk's throw is the #3 all-time by a high schooler.
