Not only is Kaden Garland ranked number one in the state. He's top 20 in the country. Going down to EIU this weekend means he has a target on his back. Here's how he manages that energy.
Oak Park River Forest High School senior Kaden Garland is the number one shot put thrower in the state of Illinois."I'm aiming for a big PR," Garland said. "I believe I can take number one again."After taking first place in indoor shot put, he's looking to do the same outdoors this weekend. And while he's chasing a sweep, he's also chasing another record – his dad's."I'm chasing his highest number," Kaden said. "64'9".
The oldest, Reese, throws at USC, where Kaden will join her next year. Their youngest, Jada, is a freshman at OPRF. Ty has coached them all. "I can be tough on them. I am dad. At the same time, I'm honest with them," Ty said. "With the dad hat, I want them to do the best athletically and academically once they leave this wonderful high school." Not only is Kaden Garland ranked number one in the state. He's also in the top 20 in the country.
