Junior Courtney Daniel currently ranks seventh in the nation in the shot put. But she didn’t start out that way.
“I started track because it was the only sport you could do at the time, and I knew that I would have to run anyway. And I was like, if I’m going to have to run I might as well do something that I’m possibly going to be good at,” Daniel said.
Daniel, who is also on the varsity golf team, recently set the school shot put record at 46 feet and half an inch. Along with her national ranking, she is also ranked third in 5A in Texas and fourth overall in the state. Read more about Daniel and what is ahead for her in the KPTimes.
