Looks like the throwers running quota is fulfilled for the year. Just have to entice with them a prize for who collects the most Easter eggs.
Congrats Houston Hill*
*Alleged questionable/controversial ending.
THANK YOU for dedicating 6 seasons to not only the sport you love, but also being an influence to others. At future practices, my own 2 boys will miss spending time (& often, pestering) you two.
Signing off for the HPS Throws; wishing the best of luck to your future endeavors!
The end of a T&F season means the unfortunate send-off for throwers.
This yr, it is especially difficult. For after 6 seasons, Michalee Brownawell & Cruz Brooks have completed their HS throwing journey.
They both leave their marks on the HPS throwing program in so many ways.
From their collective throwing careers & journey, they broke school records, became conference & district champions & were multi-yr state qualifers + state medalists.
These two PRESERVED as individuals & athletes from the highs & lows that are involved in the throwing world.
STATE MEDALIST ALERT!!! Hershey Senior, Michalee Brownawell placed 3RD in the Class C Shot Put today at Omaha Burke!!! Michalee comes home with TWO medals from state today!!! Congratulations again to Michalee and Coach Siegel!!! #PANTHERMOJO#IMPACT
STATE MEDALIST ALERT!!! Hershey Senior, Cruz Brooks placed 8TH in the Class C Discus today at Omaha Burke!!! Cruz finishes his Panther career with a state medal around his neck coming home to Hershey!!! Congrats Cruz and Coach Siegel!! #PANTHERMOJO#IMPACT
With the completion of her discus career, Michalee Brownawell finishes 4th place in Class C girls discus.
In the process, she adds to her personal best and own school record at 135-07".
Congratulations Michalee!!!!
