Suffolk’s Monica Southall helped the Army women’s shot put team make history during the recent 2014 Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colo.

For the first time in the history of the Games, the Army women’s shot put team swept the competition at Gary Berry Stadium.

This win, on top of a blowout victory in discus, gave Southall, an Army veteran, her fifth and sixth Warrior Games gold medals in field events, to add to her two golds from the inaugural Invictus Games in London last month.

“The competition was much different this year,” Southall said of the Warrior Games. “There are really good throwers here that pushed me to compete at my highest level.”

Despite the challenge, Southall landed a medal, along with her two Army teammates and Warrior Games newcomers, Sgt. Kadina Baldwin of Warrior Transition Battalion, Fort Campbell, Ky., and Sgt. Jessica Brennan of Warrior Transition Battalion, Fort Gordon, Ga.

“I was so proud of them,” Southall said. “It was great to have the two of them up there on the podium with me.”

Even though Southall is accustomed to bringing home gold, she never stops pushing herself.

“I throw better every single year,” she said.

Southall’s two biggest supporters in the stands were her mother, Barbara Southall, and aunt, Mary Ward, who traveled from Suffolk to be there.

“We are loving it here. This is our second time watching her compete,” said Ward, who came to Colorado right after cheering on her niece in London.

“We’re so proud of Monica,” Barbara Southall said. “That’s my girl!”
