Going into the AHSAA Class 1A-3A Indoor Track and Field Championships, Dadeville’s Jamauri Chislom knew it was going to be virtually impossible to bring home a gold medal in the shot put.

The No. 1 seed, Mobile Christian’s Josiah Harry, had a seed mark of more than 15 feet farther than the rest of the field. And although Chislom couldn’t overcome that hump, he did do his job to collect the silver medal. Chislom’s best throw was 45-11.75, which just barely beat out Winfield City’s Luke McKinney, who had a toss of 45-11.25.
