Discus: Layla Giordano, Old Tappan, Sr.
If you thought Giordano’s 2023 campaign was strong, she one-upped it with a sensational 2024 campaign this spring. The Princeton commit won her second M of Cs gold in the discus with a 171-7 – her third career throw beyond the 170-foot mark. She set a new PR 172-2 at sectionals, which ties the No. 2 throw in state history. Giordano threw better than 160 feet five times this spring and better than 150 a ridiculous eight times. She also hit a PR 50-0 in the shot put, which served as the No. 2 mark in N.J. this spring and is a new Bergen County record.
