8 lbs? No.
This might place in a Middle School girl's dual meet.
Op, are you female? It's decent for a hs girl, but not amazing. Probably would place in most leagues.
If you're a guy, it is very much not impressive.
Where do they throw an 8 lb shot??????
I did about 32 feet messing around at a meet the same season I ran sub-15 with a college shot. Not sure of the weight, but it seemed heavier than 8 pounds. Threw the javelin about 126 too.

If it is a men's college shot, it is 16 pounds. If it was a women's college shot, it is 4kg, or 8.8 pounds.
If you threw 32 feet for the 16 pound, I would say that is about average for what I would expect an athletic person to do without training, unless they're a very skinny type of athlete. I was always a bigger distance runner and I threw 40 feet after a month of practice, but my first few throws before really learning were in the low 30s, like yours.
If you threw 32 feet for the 4kg, I think that is below average what I would expect from a typical athletic person.
Dude, this ain't letsthrow.com now, is it?

Utterly ridiculous. 0/10
No untrained 135# distance runner is throwing a 16# shot 32' no way, no how.
32' for a MS boy or HS girl with an 8# or 4k shot is very good, and excellent for a non thrower of small size.
For a HS girl, I it would have made state finals here.

I weighed a lot more than 135 at the time and put up 235 on the bench a year after that (running career was over by then) so I wasn't as gangly as most distance runners.
sorry just to clarify it is actually 12lbs thought i threw the girl's shot put lmao
