EUGENE, ORE. – On Thursday, Madeleine Fey of the Kansas Track & Field Team, won the USATF U20 National Championship in the Women’s Discus.
“Maddie did a great job of staying focused and competing,” Kansas Throws Coach Doug Reynolds said. “It has been a very long season for her, and she is tired, but she never ceases to amaze me with her ability to compete. Today, she competes in the shot, where she will try to finish the season with a feat that has only been accomplished by a select few. I’m excited for this afternoon.”
Fey, a Freshman at Kansas, won the event Thursday with a throw of 53.22m(174’7″). In 2023, she also won this event when she was a Junior in high school.
The Texas native represented the USA U20 team at the 2023 Pan-American Games, where she was the bronze medalist in the Women’s Discus.
While in High School, Fey was a four-time Texas 5A State Champion in the Discus, a three-time Texas 5A State Runner-Up in the Shot Put, and still sits No. 3 all-time girls discus thrower in the state of Texas.
She competes later today in the Women’s Shot Put starting at 5:30 PM CT. Here is the link to live results if fans wish to follow along.
