Christopher Horner | Tribune-Review
Hempfield’s Mackenna Orie throws in the girls Class AAA shot put finals during the PIAA track and field state championships Friday, May 24, 2019, at Shippensburg University.
Mackenna Orie is changing college track and field programs.
The former Hempfield standout thrower is transferring from DePaul and will now fling heavy objects at Arizona.
Orie just completed her sophomore season.
She will join one of the WPIAL’s most decorated and prodigious throwers at Arizona in record-breaker Jordan Geist.
Orie was the Most Outstanding Field Performer at the Big East outdoor championships where she won the shot put and took second in the discus.
She holds the DePaul school record in the shot put with a throw of 51.58 meters.
Her sister, Sam, is a thrower at the Naval Academy.
