Senior Zachary Astle (Newbury, N.H.) set a new personal best in the weight throw, winning the event with a distance of 65'6". His cleared his previous personal best by about a foot (64'1".)
Astle also took first in the shot put with a distance of 54'4". Also scoring in the throws was Junior Jacob Dearborn (Wolfeboro, N.H.) who took fifth in the weight throw with a distance of 48'10", and sixth in the shot put with a distance of 47'5".
