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.

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.

Five summer sports camps are ready to go this summer for Ada athletes. Here’s the details.
