2013-14 Indoor Track Event Previews:Shot Put

Duncan Preston of South Portland had a big state meet last winter as he finished as the runner-up throwing a personal best 51-2 1/4. Preston is one of the best athletes in the state, and his size and quickness are huge assets in Shot. He'll be looking to move up to the top of the podium.

Scarborough's Hugh McSorley finished 5th as a sophomore last winter throwing 46-4 3/4, outdoors he moved up to 4th. Thornton's Cody Meserve is the other returning scorer, he was 7th last winter.

Watch for Scarborough's Mike Pino who was injured most of last winter, he placed 7th outdoors, and threw 47-9 1/2 as a best. Cheverus's Nick White is another with big potential.
