Mariah Walker

Gabriella McDonald ranks No. 5 in the shot put and No. 6 in the discus.

Mariah Walker's 46-11.5 from 2014 isn't a meet record, but it is the best the Air Force High School Indoor Open has seen in a long time.

Mariah Walker and Haley Showalter were both over 40 at last year's Air Force High School Indoor Open. Amazingly, though, the all-time meet record for the event belongs to Collinous Newsome at 50-11. Photos by Alan Versaw.
