Ada HS grad, Kendra Paul, makes a name for herself on the ONU women's track and field team

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, May 31, 2015

Ada High School graduate Kendra Paul, now an Ohio Northern University sophomore, is a quick learner.

Two weeks ago at the Ohio Athletic Conference outdoor track and field meet she toss the javelin 38.62 meters (126.7 feet), finishing second in the women’s javelin throw at the meet.

A PHOTO OF HER OAC 39.62 METER TOSS IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY.

That toss, her personal record, is also the second-longest throw ever by a woman in the sport at Ohio Northern. Her toss was two meters shy of qualifying for the Division III national meet.

Not bad for an athlete who held a javelin for the first-time ever last October.
