Rhode Island Class Championships Results
Gianna Rao (Ponaganset, North Scituate, RI) unleashed a monster of a throw at the Rhode Island Class Championships to take the national lead. Her fifth round attempt of 63’2″ added more than three feet to her season’s best and a foot to her personal best from last March. It easily secured the victory in the Medium Class, and also counted as a facility record, meet record, state record, and New England record. Joangely Mata (Mt. Pleasant, Providence, RI) and Jianna Peno (Rogers, Newport, RI) both also threw personal bests to win the Large and Small Class championships respectively.
In the boy’s competition Evan Grivers (Lincoln, RI) threw a two and a half foot best to upset his teammate and state leader Garrett Doyle (Lincoln, RI) in Class B. He also produced the top throw across all classes, narrowly edging a big bests from Cameron Croce (LaSalle Academy, Providence, RI) in Class A and Kegan Schroeter (Narragansett, RI) in Class C.
