Miller Place High School Senior Jillian Scully has now won back-to-back titles for the NYSPHSAA & NYS Federation Championship in the shot put.
Jillian won the championship last year and once again showed her dominance taking home first place this season. Scully took home the award at the New York State indoor track and field championships at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island earlier this month.
Scully has secured herself as one of the island's best and most decorated athletes this year after a remarkable junior season. This time last year Scully won the indoor state championship in the shot put with a 42 foot, 11 ½ inch throw, dominating her competition by almost 3 feet and this year she upped her own mark with a throw of 46-11 ½ to win the state championship. This time the next closest competitor was more than 4 feet off her mark.
Scully's winter season including breaking the county shot put record, placing 5th at Nike Nationals, she became state champion for the 3rd season in a row, and was named all American once again.
Scully also won the state discus championship this season, also in dominating form. Scully will be attending LSU next year as she leaves one of the most impressive high school resumes in the Miller Place's history behind her.
