Titans of the Week
Titan Freshman, Jace Gaither, surpassed his second long-standing, track record of the young season by setting a new mark in the Shot Put at Riverton’s 60th Annual Lester Garber Relays. The previous record was nearly as old as the event itself, set in 1968 by Pat Flanagan at 49 feet, eight inches. Jace’s new record of 51 feet, nine inches, was good enough for second place at the Relays. Photo by MyKayla Britt, Track Manager.
