It took Kaylee Vering a bit to realize she was a state medalist, but when it sunk in, she was excited.
The junior from Humphrey-Lindsay earned an eighth place medal Saturday in the Class C shot put.
“Honestly, I was pretty shocked at first. I knew I had a chance to place, but once everything was actually over and I realized I medaled, it was such a cool feeling. It felt good knowing all the hard work paid off and being one of the top girls in the Class C for shot put is definitely something I’m proud of. I’m also excited to keep improving and will work hard toward placing higher next year.
