Monica Kendall smashes W55 American record in shot with 42-11

Monica with jav in 2006.

Monica Kendall of Oregon, who threw as a W50 last year, apparently set an American record in the W55 shot at the Hayward Classic with a relatively mediocre throw (in her mind): 13.09 meters (42-11 1/4). Last year, she tossed the 3-kilo ball 13.72 (tops in her age group). So she has lots left in the tank. The listed W55 AR is 12.32 (40-5) by Joanne Grissom in 1993. The listed WR is 14.47 by Sigrin Kofink of Germany in 1991. Thanks to masters mole No. 512 for the heads up! Monica holds the AR for W50, BTW. In 2006, Monica was profiled in her local paper.
