ALL-WHATCOM COUNTY BOYS' TRACK AND FIELD: Macdonald grows into top thrower

Ryan Macdonald definitely has plenty to appreciate after his performance at the Class 2A State Track and Field Championships last month.

He won an individual state championship in the shot put with a throw of 55 feet, 1.25 inches on May 29, one day after breaking the state meet record in the discus multiple times in winning his first state title with a career best toss of 180-3.
