By Journal staff | Monday, June 23, 2008

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Rapid City Stevens’ Brooke Garner took 11th place in the girls shot put at the Nike Outdoor Nationals on Saturday. Garner, who is headed to South Dakota State in the fall, had a throw of 42 feet, 8 1/4 inches to get 11th place. Cumberland, Maine’s Becky O’Brien won the event with a heave of 52-1-3/4.

Garner won the Class AA discus and shot put championships this year, helping the Raiders to their 13th straight girls’ state team title. Garner won the discus title and was the runner-up in the shot put as a junior in 2007.

Garner’s performance wasn’t the best by a South Dakotan at Nationals, however, as Watertown’s Leslie Brost won the girls’ pole vault at 13 feet, 3 inches — which tied her South Dakota state record. Brost won the Class AA title this spring with a state-meet record vault of 12-10.

Brost, a three-time state pole vault champ, is headed to North Dakota State University in the fall.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
