Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City junior Liberty Slinden's first state track and field championship could not have gone much better.

One day after finishing second in the discus, Slinden won the Class A shot put title June 7 at Hamline University in St. Paul.

Slinden's throw of 41 feet, 11 inches was more than a foot better than second-place finisher Leah Dietel of Jordan.

Slinden's effort single handedly placed ACGC 13th in the Class A state team standings.

Litchfield's Abby Goraczkowski scratched on her three throws and did not make the finals.
