How I Qualified
The District Championship was held at Eastside High School in Taylors, SC.  I came
in 1st place and won the gold medal. Next I went to Spartanburg, SC for the Regional Championship.  I placed 2nd, winning a silver medal by throwing the shot put 25-3.50; the best I've ever thrown!

Check out my video to see me in action.

2015
In the SC District Championship I placed 1st, won the gold medal and set a state record with a throw of 20-00.50.  At the Regional Championship I came in 1st and won the gold. This qualified me to participate in the 2015 National Jr. Olympics in Virginia where
I won the 4th place medal.

2014
My first time ever competing in shot put at 8 years old. I entered into the SC District Championship, came in 1st and won my first gold medal. At the Regional Championship I came in first and won the gold throwing a distance of 20-09.00. This qualified me to participate in the 2015 National Jr. Olympics in Des Moines, Iowa where I won the 5th place medal.
