MileSplit All-American Team - Girls Javelin Throw

<p> <span style="font-size: 14px;">The first ever MileSplit All-American Teams for this past 2014 outdoor track &amp; field season are being released this week. The selection process included taking into consideration multiple factors but not limited to: season best performances and national rankings, consistency and body of work, finishes in major championship and post-season meets as well as a head-to-head results against other top national ranked competition in their event were all used to determine the top 8 individuals and relays to make up our All-American squads.</span></p>

Redondo Union (CA) sophomore Tairyn Montgomery didn't need to be in a state that actively holds javelin competitions throughout the school year to stay sharp to prove herself as one of the country's javelin throwers. Montgomery was simply saving up to let it rip in the post-season to win the New Balance Nationals with a mark of 157'9" then improved upon that performance nearly a full month later with US #3 throw of 163'0" at the Chicagoland Throwers Series defeating the top two ranked javelin throwers ahead of her nationally in the process.

The following 8 individuals have been selected to the MileSplit All-American Team in the girls javelin throw from the 2014 outdoor season as they have been chosen by MileSplit as the 8 best national performers in their event from this past spring.
