Here is the UPDATED RANKINGS reflecting all of the results from the 2017 season.
WISCONSIN ALL- TIME COMPOSITE RANKINGS for the GIRLS THROWING EVENTS. Of the TENS of thousands of prep girls who have picked up a shot put and discus in Wisconsin over the past 50 years, only 19 girls have throws that rank in the top 50 of BOTH the SHOT PUT and DISCUS events. The COMPOSITE RANKING adds each athlete's rank on the top 50 ALL-TIME LIST in both events. The lower the score, the better the combined ranking.
A HUGE congratulations to Josie Schaefer (Baraboo '17), for moving up on the list to #1 ALL-TIME, passing Samantha Noennig and Kennedy Blahnik who were previously tied for #1.

Josie Schaefer

Her Shot Put P.R. of 47'8" came on her final throw of the state meet to win her 1st Shot Put State title surpassing reigning shot put champ, Erin Dunning by 4.75". Her P.R. tied Angela Boushea for the 5th best throw in State History.

While there was some movement of positions of the top 19 on this year's list, no athletes moved on the list.
V MOVED OFF V
As we continue to see massive improvements in the Girls SHOT PUT and DISCUS around the state, no one was moved off the list this year. Erica Bailey holds on to the #18 best combined spot, however her 43'10.25" shot put mark stands at #48 on the all-time shot put list and could get bumped next year. Elizabeth Robe holds the #19 combined spot, but her 140'9" discus P.R. from 2004 stands at #48 on the discus list and could get wiped off the top 50 list next year.
THE STANDARD
How much have GIRLS pushed the standard forward? Want to be considered one of the best WI Prep throwers of all time? You'll need to THROW BIG and THROW FAR...
The new standard to make the Top 50 LIST in 2018:

THROW BIG, THROW FAR!
