Summary
Julia Arnold captured the New York girls' Class A shot put title Sunday with a throw of 39 feet, 9.25 inches, beating the runner-up by more than 2 feet.
That win extended a dominant spring season in which Arnold finished first in 9 of 10 shot put events and entered the state meet ranked No. 1 in New York.
Weeks earlier, Arnold swept shot put and discus at the Section III Class A-1 Championships, setting a personal-best 42 feet, 5.5 inches in shot put and throwing 132 feet in discus.
New York allows athletes to compete based on gender identity, maintaining a policy state officials reaffirmed after President Donald Trump's February 2025 order directing Title IX enforcement based on biological sex.
