Junior Dakoda Dement is already off to a hot start this track season. He set a new school shot put record with a throw of 54 feet 7 inches at the Viktor Lopez Classic at Rice University last weekend. His throw surpassed the previous record by 6.5 inches set by Josh Bloom in 2012. Dement hopes to just keep increasing his distance as the season continues.
Dement will compete with the track team at the District Championships on April 2-3 at Pasadena. Listen to this episode of Humans of KPARK with host Cameron Minatrea.
