Faribault Falcon junior Megan Gehrke finished 7th in the Shot Put to earn All-State status during the Minnesota High School League State Meet Saturday.

Gehrke told KDHL it wasn't the best mark she's ever hit but standing on the podium and earning All-State will give her incentive for a better finish next season.

Gehrke tossed the 8 pound ball 40 feet 10 inches and had she matched her seed mark she would have been 5th at state.

Senior Alexandria Hurst of Robbinsdale Armstrong won the competition with a toss of 45 feet 4 and 3/4 inches.

Senior Madeline Moorhouse of Lakeville North was second with a throw of 45 feet 3 and 3/4 inches.

Senior Amanda Anderson of St. Francis won with a throw of 154 feet 7 inches and Gehrke threw the discus 117 feet 4 inches well under her 131 feet 2 inch seed.  Had she matched that she would have finished third at the meet.
