The top teams from the West plus the Beasts from the East, Broken Arrow and Jenks, were in the field, but none of them could match the talented MWC sophomore who got her winning throw on her second attempt.
The Lady Bombers also brought home medals in the 400 meter relay as the foursome of Mikayla Freeman, Mya Brown, Deyunsha Westbrook and Avionna Grigsby finished fourth in a time of 50.68/
Grigsby, the transfer from Choctaw, also placed in two other events. She was fourth in the 200 with a time of 27.32 and took fifth place in the 100 with a time of 13.03.
