Welch threw javelin, discus and shot put for Community R-6 this season but won a Central Activities Conference championship in the javelin. He had a throw of 42.56 meters that day.
Welch’s personal-best was 46.67 meters earlier this season at the Monroe City Invitational. The eighth-place throw at state this year was 43.60 meters.
