SAVANNAH, Georgia – Madison Torgerson of Firth High finished second in the hammer throw at the USA Track & Field Junior Olympic Championships (age 15-16) this week with a toss of 46.95 meters.

The second-place finish earns Torgerson an All-American nod.

She will compete in the shot put at the USTA Junior Olympics on Wednesday.
