OMAHA — The end of Jaid Wehrle’s freshman season in the shot put made her furious. “Freshman year I was really mad I didn’t make state,” the Battle Creek senior said. “I was off by a couple of inches, and I was really mad. That pushed me sophomore year to get a lot better. …“I don’t think freshman me know that this is what was going to happen.”What freshman Wehrle didn’t know is that she would end her high school career as a two-time Class C state champion and a one-time runner-up.
