Shot Put-

Breakdown: Can anyone stop Hunter Hendershot this year? The answer is probably no for the top returner in all of Illinois whose 60.3.25 personal best is just the beginning. While we may not see the astronomical efforts like John Meyer (Lockport HS) performed, the residuals will be everlasting for the up and coming crop. Tyler Sudduth is one of those emerging throwers that will try and chase down the monster man Hendershot.
