More notably, David had the second-best javelin throw (110-6) in 4A and the fifth-best throw in the entire state across all divisions this past season. During her senior year, David posted top finishes across the board in the javelin, even winning the District 1 Meet of Champions — the meet where she set her personal record throw. The javelin, which was just reinstated this year in the state of Idaho (first ever time for girls), will be an IHSAA sanctioned event starting next season.
