    Interestingly enough, though, neither has lost a shot put competition this year.

    Schuylkill Valley's (PA) Ashlyn Giles took control of the US No. 1 spot after she threw 49-7 at the Hempfield Spartans Competition #3. She leads the country by over a foot.

    Council Rock South's (PA) Siniru Iheoma was consistently throwing 44 feet. At the PTFCA Indoor Track Carnival, she launched her biggest throw in her career. She won the meet with 3-foot improvement. She finished the meet with a 48-7.75. This performance even outperforms her outdoor personal best in the event by 1.25 inches. 

    US No. 3 in this event has three throws over 47-0. Emma Callahan of Shenango (PA) threw her personal best at the Youngstown State Open/High School Meet #2 in mid-January.   

    Giles, Iheoma and Callahan are the only three athletes this year who threw over 48 feet this indoor season.
