Later in the day, after the field events and two mile finished up, sprinting and hurdles began. “I am not very happy that I placed second for discus because I know I can throw farther in that event,” she said. Wren noted that although she placed high in discus, she felt her performance could have been better. “I was shocked that I was able to get third.” “I am happy that I placed third for shot put because I was telling myself that I should try to throw farther than all the other girls at the meet and I did,” Wren said. With a third-place finish in shot put and a second-place result in discus, Wren earned 14 of the team’s 26 points. Wren was a huge reason why the girls varsity team placed sixth at the meet. The best part of the meet is cheering on other runners and the shared pride that takes place when your teammate crosses the finish line.”
