Charlie Riddle finished second in the shot put for Heritage in the highly-competitive Tony Fey Bluffton Thrower Showcase Saturday, competing alongside potential state medalists from all over the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meet was dominated by Churubusco’s Weston Ott, who took both the discus and the shot for the Eagles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ott’s winning distance in the shot put was actually longer than every other competitor at last year’s state meet – except for state champion Nylan Brown of Ben Davis. Brown graduated last year, as did last year’s runner-up Dane Sebert of Eastside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ott was third last June behind Brown and Sebert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riddle was second with a throw of 54-08, three feet short of his season best from the New Haven Relays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wyatt Garland was seventh for the Patriots with a new PR by 3.5 inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the discus, Ott was 21 inches better than Bret Sauder of Leo. His winning distance would have been a top-ten performance at last year’s State Finals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heritage’s Brock Taylor set a new PR in the discus, finishing in 14th place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
