Discus Throw-
2019 State Champion: Sydney Apgar (Carbondale)
Key returners: Jayden Ulrich (Jr., East Alton-Wood River), Bailey Bertrand (Sr., Marengo), Carolina Hintz (Jr., Burlington Central), Kylie Feuerbach (Sr., Sycamore), Emma Pinkston (Jr., Paris), Breahia Payne (Jr., Mt. Vernon), Batya Butler (Sr., Dunlap), Desire Poole (So., E. St. Louis Sr.)
Outlook: Defending state champ Sydney Apgar moves on to college along with a slew of other throwers potentially leaving big gap among the returning lot.
Not a strong event statewide, Ulrich is the standout thrower here and could possibly challenge the 150-foot mark, which would grad some attention on the national scene and with college recruiters.
Bailey Bertrand will be hot on the trail of Ulrich, finishing just a few feet behind in taking third at state. This event will be the only that Ulrich is vulnerable in entering the 2020 season... Carolina Hintz is the only other one to crack the 130-foot mark.
