Two new meet records were set at the 5th Annual Centralia Spring Fling Hammer Championships. Senior Gabby Midles (Camas, WA) was the star of the day. She set a new state and meet record with a toss of 171'09". Midles's mark is a new all time Washington State Girls hammer record. The old record of 166’10” was set by Britney Henry from Lewis and Clark in 2002. Her throw also broke the old meet record of 151'1" set by Shannon Harvey (Olympia, WA) in 2005. Midles will attend the University of Idaho next year.

Jordan Stray won both the 12-pound and 16-pound hammer throw competitions. In winning the 16-pound competition, Stray broke Zack Midles's (Capital, Olympia, WA) meet record of 174'2" set in 2005.
