Gaston High rising senior Kodie Bogle (pictured above) took first place in the javelin event with a throw of 183’07 at the AAU Nationals at North Carolina A&T on August 1 in Greensboro, N.C. Bogle, who was named MVP of the All-Messenger Track and Field team the past two years, set a PR of 195 feet and two inches at the Nike Outdoor Junior Nationals this past June in Eugene, Oregon. This past season, Bogle broke the AHSAA state record in the javelin event while capturing his third straight Class 2A state championship. Bogle went 8-0 in javelin competition this past year and has not lost an Alabama High School Athletic Association-sanctioned javelin event since the Gadsden City Meet No. 4 of the 2023 season. Since the 2021 season, he was won 36 AHSAA-sanctioned javelin events.
