As the indoor track season comes to a close, there remain a
few players who stand out among the large roster of “trackies”. Senior captain
Spencer McKeough is one of them. Standing at 6’1” 225lbs, McKeough is hard to
miss. He currently holds the record for shot put at DHS and has broken a few
field house records.
“I started throwing back in freshman year because I saw my
brother enjoying it,” McKeough said. After four years of throwing, McKeough
stands as one of the best in the state. He can throw the 12-pound shot 51 feet
4 inches. This was enough to land him a spot in the National Indoor
Track Championship in March. Co-captain and fellow senior Nick Lombardo said,
“Spencer is extremely dedicated and has been the best thrower I’ve seen at each
meet.” McKeough’s furthest throw is nearly eight feet beyond the previous
record.
McKeough says he plans to throw in college and has no
intention of slowing down.
