Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-2, 275-pound junior throws specialist won the national championship in the discus at New Balance Nationals Outdoor this past season and took second in the shot put to earn dual All-American honors. At the Non-Public Group A state meet, Shue launched the shot a personal-best 69 feet, 2 inches, a winning effort that ranked No. 6 nationally among boys prep competitors this spring at the time of his selection. He also PR’d at the NJSIAA Meet of Champions, this time in the discus, winning with a throw of 205-4, which ranked tied for seventh nationally.
