Junior Princess Aggrey represented the East Haven girls’ outdoor track team when she competed in the CIAC Hammer Throw competition last week. The event, which was part of the CIAC’s season-ending series that also included the Decathlon, Heptathlon, and Steeplechase, took place at Willow Brook Park in New Britain on June 16.

Aggrey finished in 19th place for the CIAC Hammer Throw event. Aggrey had three attempts and recorded a top throw of 38 feet-6 inches on her way to finishing 19th.

Aggrey had previously competed in the discus and shot put for East Haven during the 2021 postseason. Aggrey finished in sixth place for the shot put (28-0) and 15th in the discus (49-8) to help the Easties take first place at the SCC West Sectional Championship. She went on to finish 15th in the shot put (28-1) at the SCC Championship, where the Yellowjackets came in fourth place as a squad.
