Karen was very happy to bring home the GWI watch and medal.
June 3, 2000
Hooray!!!!! Karen won the State Championship with a toss of 50'7.25". The competition was outstanding, with Jessica Cosby taking 2nd with 49'0.75" and 1999 State Champ Jill Camarena taking third at 48'1.25". This was the farthest winning mark in California State competitions since Kristin Heaston's 1993 win. Next stop? Golden West in Sacramento! Stay tuned!
