Jill Shippee Re-Sets NY State Junior Record in National Hammer Win


Junior Jillian Shippee (Shenendehowa) has been on a roll this year.  Book-ending a season that kicked off with a Junior State Record at Icahn Stadium, closes much the same.  Adding to the gold medal count of their 4x800m, Shippee clinched a National Title and new State Record on her first throw.  She affirmed her win to open finals, with a toss further than the eventual second place.

Shippee broke onto the scene this winter in the Weight Throw, a newly added event in New York.  The event traslates well over to the Outdoor Hammer, despite not being a State Event.  The mark is now NY #3 All-Time.
