Senior Catherine Sargent
Senior Catherine Sargent made school history on Wednesday when she broke the DHS shot put record during a meet against Millis High School at the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury.
The previous record, held by 1996 graduate Giselle Nicholas, measured 38’ 1”. Sargent was able to top that by throwing for a distance of 41’ 1”.
Sargent has been competing in track and field since her sophomore year. She is known for her hard work, as she continually shows up to weekend practices and often stays late at weekday practices to perfect her form.
When asked how she was able to accomplish such a feat, Sargent answered, “I wore my Miles Morales Spider-Man socks that day. That did the trick.”
