Victoria Perez bettered her shot put record, set ing 2018 with a 36 foot 2 inch toss at our dual meet with Madison on 11 April 2019.
She originally broke both the shot put and discus records at a double dual meet with Mission Bay and Madison on May 3rd 2018. Later, at the CIF Finals, she extended her shot put record out to 34' 7".She was our only female thrower in 2018.She won all our dual meets for both shot and discus, including the league finals where she was the league champ in both events.

Previous Record Holder, Kara Solem: 32' 11" with 4-kilogram shot 2002
Kara Solem had come close to the shot put record several times during her senior year and at the Madison dual meet in 2002 it all came together for her. Actually she broke the record three times that day with the her best throw nearly out to the 33 foot mark. Because she exceeded both the 4-kilogram and 8-pound records her throw removed the asterisk from this event (see below).

Record holder for 4 kilogram shot put: Vanessa Bowman 32' 3" 1996
When
the girls shot put weight was raised from 8 pounds to 4 kilograms (about
8#-13oz.) the girls shot put record had to be started over at the new
weight. I don't have a record of who set the initial mark but it may
have been Vanessa Bowman. She threw 32' 3" with
the new weight. Since this was 6 inches shorter than Moe Carr threw
in 1980 with an 8 pound shot both records were maintained at that time.
In 2002 Kara Solem exceeded both marks (see above). Vanessa is shown

Lunt and to the right throwing the discus.
