COLUMBUS — Abby LaPole’s great run as a high school thrower ended in style.
The Jackson senior won her third straight girls seated shot put state title on June 5 at the OHSAA Track and Field Championships. LaPole’s top throw of 21 feet, 7.5 inches came on her final attempt.
LaPole leaves high school with three state titles and an all-time Stark County record that may stand for a long time. Her top throw of 23-5.75 occurred this season.
Perry’s Ahsha DiPietro finished third with a top throw of 13-2.75.
