Watson ready for state shot put

Kyle resident CeCe Watson can remember how skeptical she was when her then 7th grade track coach asked her to take up the shot put.

Having played basketball here-and-there prior to middle school, Watson was unsure as to whether she would take to the specialized spring sport. Add in the surprisingly heavy 8-pound implement and Watson’s reluctance grew even more.

“I thought, ‘I’m supposed to throw this, this far?,’” Watson said.
