Nia Lyles

The sophomore throwing standout won two events at last weekend’s Charlie Beck Invitational at University City.

Lyles won the shot put with a throw of 43 feet and the discus with a throw of 118 feet 9 inches. Her effort in the shot put was a new school record. Lyles’ total of 20 points scored helped Webster Groves secure the team championship with 121 points.

As a freshman, Lyles earned two All-State medals at the 2016 Class 4 state championships in Jefferson City. She finished second in the shot put and fifth in the discus in her first state meet appearance.
