It's Shaping Up To Be A Great Season In MA


Discus and Shot Taking Center Stage

Believe it or not, we have someone right now that is ranked No. 2 in the nation in his event. Way back on April 7, Concord Academy's Sam Welch heaved the discus a distance of 202 feet, 4 inches. The Harvard-bound Welch is one of only two people to surpass the 200-foot mark this year. By the way, Welch is also the No. 1 shot-putter in the state and is less than a foot of reaching another milestone. He is just 11 inches shy of 60 feet with a best of 59-1. But Welch is not the only one in range of 60 feet.  This past weekend. Innovation Academy's Aiden Felty (see photo above) won the Coaches Invitational Large School meet with a personal best of 58-9.
