The Streetsboro Rockets have a new champion.

A state champion.

Junior Milena Sobie won the seated shot put title on Friday’s first day of the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s state championships at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus.

Sobie muscled a throw of 17 feet, 2 1/4 inches on Friday to best the runner-up throw of 16 feet, 11 3/4 inches.

Sobie is Streetsboro’s first state champion since Dakari Carter won the 100-meter crown in 2016.

Sobie had entered the finals seeded fifth, but finished atop the podium.
