Thumbs up Card shatters State records in Shot and Discus!!!!!!

Kelsey throws a personal best at Charleston of 48-09.75 to set a State record for Class A. She already broke the State record for the discus throw yesterday, but will try to top her effort of 153-7 today!

Oh my gosh. Kelsey had a discus throw of 167-04 breaking the State record and setting the ALL-TIME Illinois discus record for any class!!!!

What a great day at Charleston for Kelsey Card!!!!


Congrats Kelsey!

Thanks to Carlinville athletic director Darrin Deneve, here are links to a couple of good write-ups on Kelsey.

Bucket Hat, great picture.

- The folks I've met from Benton are good people that support their athletes. The first person to congratulate Kelsey was Webb from Benton.

- I want to know, what's the deal with the shot pic. (by Dr. Lapp from C'ville)? Card doesn't like Pepsi?

What a great picture. I love the way the shot put appears to be just floating above her finger. Now, if only it wasn't the middle one

My condolences to Kelsey and her family, as her Grandpa Falter passed away yesterday. He was a warm, sincere, and great man, quick with a smile and kind word.
