15-16 Year Old Girl's Shot Put
Current Record: 13.55m, Nia Lyles, 2016
The Challenger: Nia Lyles
Yes, you read that right: Nia Lyles is both the challenger and the current record holder to her own girl's shot put record, which she set at last year's AAU Junior Olympic Games at age 15. Though a year older, she will still belong to the 15-16 Year Old Girl's category, so a PR by any amount will also amount to a new AAU National Record for her next week, assuming nobody else jumps into the mix. Lyles is the only defending national national record holder who will return to the same age group category this year.
