A Comparison of the Top-Ranked Florida Girls by Classification in the Throws
Florida's girls throws scene presents a very different competitive structure than the boys side. Instead of one classification clearly dominating, the top marks reveal a more distributed landscape, where elite individuals elevate their divisions, and event specialization plays a major role. The Florida girls' throws landscape this season is defined less by classification size and more by elite individual performers behind one of the best ever talents in Tampa Catholic's J'Nia Simpson. Simpson is the most dominant throws athlete across all classifications, controlling both primary throwing events with clear margins.
Shot Put
Shot put is where the biggest gap exists between the classifications, and 2A J'Nia Simpson's 15.39m mark leads all classifications by over a meter. Her throw is currently U.S. No. 3 and a tied FL No. 2 all-time mark.
Top Marks by Division:
Discus
The girls Discus is the deepest and most competitive event across classifications. Simpson again leads with a 49.58m (162-7.75. A current U.S. No. 3 and FL No. 6 all-time throw. She is clearly the top thrower in the state. 4A and 3A are tight with 1A back just over 10m.
