Boy's Shot Put All-Time Maine State Champions

Jul 24, 2026

We have been putting our research hats on this summer to dig deep into the archives. Our latest project is to create a list of state champions for every state meet across the three classes. Currently, we aim to cover the period from 1980 to the present, and as time permits, expand the time frame back to the 1960s and beyond.

Our next event in the research is the boys' shot put. Beginning in 1980, a change to the metric running events was gradually phased in among the boys' and girls' meets in all classes. In 1983, metric events were run in three classes for both genders.
