So far, Nico Heineke Magri owns the standard in this year's 5A Boys shot put.
It's still relatively early in the season, but it's definitely worth checking this year's state qualifying, so far, against what it took to advance to State both of the last two years. This time, we turn our attention to 5A Boys.
So far, this year's top 18 hasn't eclipsed the minimum state-qualifying standard for either of the last two years, but several events are getting close. And, a lot will change in April.
Here's the table of where we are this year versus what it eventually took to get to State in 5A Boys each of the last two years:
