McKay Madsen: Shot Put Composite

If any athlete deserves a shot put composite image, it’s McKay Madsen. This past Saturday at the 2025 CIF State Finals, Madsen completed back-to-back victories in both shot put and discus for the first time since 1922. He won the event by 9 feet with a winning throw of 69 feet 11 inches. The composite image above is of an earlier throw that also would have won the event. He also won the discus with a throw of 210 feet, 8 inches, which was more than 24 feet ahead of the runner-up. To say this young man is a beast would be an understatement. I’ll be sending the original 14844 × 5587 pixel image to his coach for their use as they see fit. Congratulations, McKay.
