Cowgirls Sign Oklahoma Prep Thrower to LOI

Hamilton, an Idabel High School product, brings impressive credentials including three 4A state championship honors in the discus and two gold medals in the shot put. The 6-2 thrower posted personal records of 147-11 and 42-9 in the discus and shot put, respectively.
“It was a great decision for me,” Hamilton said. “Stillwater is a nice small town and it felt like home. I hope to help the team out in any way I can as I am excited about representing Oklahoma State.”
Cowgirl throwing coach John Baumann said the five-time state champion is a tremendous athlete who will have the potential to become a prized thrower at OSU.
“(Katie) is a great addition to our team,” Baumann said. “She is going to be the catalyst for our throwers in the near future. She has the size and awareness to become a Big 12 champion and an All-American.”
