Today, we salute Kasey Thomas of Easton Area.
Thomas had a strong career in the throws for the Rovers. She had a terrific senior campaign in particular. During this past indoor season, she placed eighth at the state meet in the shot put with an indoor PR of 41-3.25, earning a state medal.
She kept the momentum rolling into outdoors in the shot, where she tossed a best of 42-9.75 at the District 11 Championships. A week later at the PIAA State Championships, Thomas placed fifth in Class AAA with a put of 42-8. She also threw a PR of 113-0 in the discus this past spring.
Thomas, a Bryant University recruit, reflected on her career for PennTrackXC.
