Stephanie Aliimatafitafi added nearly a foot to her season best in the girls’ shotput with a toss of 43 feet 9 inches at the Southern Section-Toyota Division I preliminaries at Trabuco Hills.

Aliimatafitafi, a senior from Paramount, would move from sixth to third based on results coming into the day. Her previous best was 42-11, set at the Arcadia Invitational.

Her newest result would move her past Ridgecrest Burroughs’ Kayla Kovar, who had a 43-0 1/4 at the Mt. SAC Invitational.
