There are very few people in the world who can boast that they are the best at what they do, and no one can argue with their claims. This week Miller Place High School's Jillian Scully can say that with full conviction.
The Track and Field standout set a new New York State record, and the performance has now propelled her to being the top girl's discus thrower in the entire country.
At the Glenn D. Loucks Memorial Track & Field Games in White Plains Scully threw her discus 174 feet and two inches. That is the new record after she beat the old record with ease. The old record was set in 1992 and was the oldest track and field record to date.
This isn't new territory for Scully who has been a star for years. We reported over the winter that she broke the Suffolk County indoor Shot Put record and went on to win the New York State championship in the Shot Put. She repeated as NYSPHSAA & NYS Federation Champion in the shot put winning back-to-back titles in 2024 & 2025.
Scully has had a senior year that no one will soon forget and now she plans to continue her career at LSU. She also has stated that one of her biggest goals is to go to the 2028 Olympics in the discus, and being ranked #1 in the country, that goal seems very attainable.
