TORRINGTON – At the state track meet, Torrington’s Logan Harris broke a 27-year shot put record, while the Trailblazer boys soccer team reached the state championship game for the first time in program history.
Harris went into the 3A shot put event as the heavy favorite, with his seed mark almost more than 10 feet further than the second-furthest throw at regionals. The Blazer lived up to the hype.
On the final throw of his career, Harris recorded a put of 63 feet, 8.5 inches, which was 7.5 inches further than the old record set in 1990. His throw was the 20th-best throw among high school athletes this year. Cheyenne Central’s John Godina, who went to compete in three Olympics, held the old record.
“I just had to think about it,” Harris said. “I just knew that I wouldn’t have any more after this so I definitely thought about it and thought about it and it just came to life. All these people out here to support me I was like, ‘Well they’re here to watch me so I knew I couldn’t let them down.”
