Ridgefield teen sets indoor track record

Trey Knight, a freshman at Ridgefield High School, set an indoor track and field national record for high school freshman in the weight toss.

Knight threw a 25-pound weight 68 feet, 8 inches, beating the old record by three feet. He set the record at the Tuck Gionet Winter Indoors Throws Festival in Snohomish.

This summer, Knight won two titles at the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics National Championships, setting a record in the shot put.
