PLEASANTON — Marmaton Valley Junior High’s Clara Ferguson picked a perfect time to etch her name into the school’s history books.
The seventh-grader threw the shot put 36 feet, 8.5 inches to win the event at Monday’s Three Rivers League Junior High Track Meet, setting a new school record in the process.
The season-ending meet was a banner day for several other athletes. Marmaton Valley’s seventh-grade boys brought home the team championship, just ahead of Crest Middle School in second place and Yates Center in fourth.
Yates Center’s seventh-grade girls, meanwhile, were edged out of a team championship. Yates Center finished with 83 points, just behind first-place Southeast’s 92.
