Negri Breaks Athletics Ontario Discus And Shot Put Records

Blenheim’s Emma Negri had a record breaking weekend, setting new Athletics Ontario records in the U13 discus and shot put events.

Competing for the University of Windsor Athletic Club, Negri set two new U13 standards at the Bread & Butter Throws Invitational in Mississauga.

“The last 4 months of training at home has paid off,” she said, utilizing the COVID-19 shutdown for training.

Negri threw 33.09m in the discus event and 10.25m in the shot put event, both records.

The previous records were 28.71m in discus and 8.93m for shot put.
