Miller Place High School Senior Jillian Scully competed in the Section XI NYS Qualifier this week and has now become a new record holder.
Scully competed in the Track and Field qualifiers in the shot-put competition. She placed 1st with a personal best distance of 48'-4.25".
That personal best also now has set the new record for the Indoor record for both Suffolk County and all of Long Island. Scully won this event for both NYSPHSAA and Federations and will defend these records at the upcoming Championships on March 8th at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.
Scully also won the New York State Outdoor State Championship in the shot put by over five feet back in June. She also set the school record in the shot put by over 12 feet.
Scully has a bright future ahead as she has been recruited by Division I track and field teams around the country. UCLA, Arizona State, Colorado State University, and the University of Michigan all came calling but she settled on LSU.
