POCATELLO — If you are a fan of shrieks, you missed out on an all-timer Saturday.

Take the sound of a hawk diving at a fish.

Mix in the noise a mother makes when she first sees her adult child at the airport following a years-long deployment.

Then add the scream of a joyful child being tackled and licked by a clumsy puppy.

Stir it all together with a slide whistle and you’ve got something approaching Eva Grimm’s legendary shriek heard around the Highland High School infield Saturday when the Blackfoot senior heard the discus official call out a distance.

“139 feet, 4 inches.”

“Eeeeeiiiiiahhhhh! Ayahhhhhh!”

Hunched over at the waist, fists clenched first at her knees, then her ears. “Yeeeeeiaahhh!”

It was not only the longest throw of Grimm’s career, it was also the longest in the history of Highland’s Iron Horse Stadium — besting a mark set by Rigby’s Ellayna Davis in 2025 by more than eight feet.

The record throw wasn’t a fluke. Far from it.

That 139-4 was part of the best continuous series of Grimm’s career, according to Blackfoot throwing coach Matt Bender.

“Minus the sixth being a foul, all of the other five (Saturday) were over 136,” Bender said. “And she has her sights set higher, so it’s a good mark for the middle of the season.”

After her series of shrieks behind the safety fence, Grimm raced over to Bender and leapt into his arms. Other throwers waiting their turn in the fourth flight of Saturday’s Highland Gold Baton Relays and Invitational turned and witnessed the celebration. Several clapped Grimm on the shoulder or raised their fists in respect.

When asked who was more excited about the PR, Bender had to admit Grimm was the happier. Maybe.

“I would say she was probably happier than me, but only just,” he said. “She has put in a lot of hard work, pretty much since the end of last season. But I feed off the kids’ excitement. She’s been executing what we are working on so well that I was happier with how the ring looked, more than the distance. Because I know there is more there.”

While Bender serves the official role of throwing coach for Eva Grimm, her father, Brian Grimm, is the man behind the muscle, working as her strength and conditioning coach.

Grimm and the rest of the Broncos will be back in action this weekend at the Boise Relays at Dona Larson Park.
