PHILADELPHIA. Pa. — Three area athletes competed in the New Balance Nationals Outdoor track and field championships this past weekend in Philadelphia.
The meet has stringent qualifying standards and is widely regarded as the sport’s most prestigious national competition.

On Saturday, Kaya Barnes and Isabella Drain-White respectively threw 31-2.5 and 30-2.25 to place 34th and 39th in the shot put.
