The old mark 54.3, the new 54 flat.Possibly the most outstanding record that was broken was in the Division 2 shot put. Frey, Springville, bested the old record by more than six feet.The heave that was uncoiled by Frey to set the new record covered SS’lOK”.Central Utah junior high athletes placed in all but five events of the entire days schedule.
