Garrett Wins Shot Put State Title
With a winning heave of 49 feet, 8 inches, Prince junior Christian Garrett is the 2024 Single A | Division 1 State Shot Put Champion.
Christian’s state championship is a true come-back story. He had shoulder surgery in January and was cleared to compete only two days prior to the region meet. Christian qualified at region, and advanced through sectionals to win his title at the state meet held in Rome, Georgia on May 9th.
Christian gives God the glory and his coaches his appreciation for this accomplishment. “The comeback was a thing God allowed me to do. I never thought the result would be a win. I’ll forever be thankful to Coach Kilgore and Coach Tim for believing in me to do this. I’m thankful for Prince Track.”
Head Coach Jonathan Kilgore is proud of Christian’s comeback from surgery. “Christian is an amazing athlete, and he’s an even more amazing person!”
