Breakdown: One of the best throwers in state history is back. Kyle Clabough was Mr. Shotput last season going undefeated and throwing over 60-feet in all but two competitions last season. Sohn will challenge the 60-feet barrier this season and hopefully will put some heat on Clabough. Gennarelli is also a candidate for 60-foot status.
