La Jolla senior Gaby Ibarra prevailed in the shot put at Hoover High Thurs., April 6, as she heaved the four-kilogram sphere 25 feet even, a personal record.
That was good enough to lead the way to a Viking girls 1-2-3 sweep in the varsity event, with freshman Lia Luyties finishing second behind Ibarra with a best of 22 feet, 10 inches. Skylar Huntley, a junior put the shot 18 feet, 8 inches for third place.
Ibarra, in a pre-meet interview, showed she mixes it up pretty well with her mother in fixing foods that help supply her energy demands for the two throws--discus, as well as shot--and a long day at school, but which taste good, too.
In fact, the personable senior makes chopping up fruit and veggies with her mom in preparation for "escuela" sound like an awful lot of fun.
