The Showalter Brothers Put On A Show
A year ago Caden Showalter dominated the field in the shot put and the discus at State. The Mancos claimed the discus title with a toss of 161-0, and the shot in 48-1.50.
Showalter made it a sweep of the throws last year, and while a title defense is in order for Showalter The Elder, add to the storyline of a brother sweep in the throws, because that nearly happened last year as well.
While Caden climbed all the way to the top of the podium in both events, Connor Showalter stood besides him both times - just swapping sides.
Connor - then a Mancos freshman - placed second in the shot with a toss of 47-4.50, and third in the discus with a 143-5.
While they nearly achieved the feat of a Showalter-Sweep last year, it seems highly-likely this year, if the season ever gets underway.
And to add one more potential storyline to the narrative - How Many Years Will The Title Of 'King Of The Ring' Remain In The Showalter Family?
