Canon Rebel T5 ... Track meet, Monopod or Tripod? Best Manual Settings

I am going to my nieces track meet this weekend. She throw the shotput .. I am pretty new at all the manual settings ... so I am wanting to get some good setting suggestions to start with and tweak to get the best shots .. i have tried manual at basketball games and I can't seem to get them right ... anyway .. i have a canon rebel T5 with 18-55mm & 75-300mm Lens Kit.

ok, to add more to this long story i have fibromyalgia and can't hold the camera for long periods of time.    So i am asking which support would be better.  These are the following questions:

For Sports/Track met (shot put specifically)

1. monopod or tripod

2. What settings should I try first.

Thank you for anyone that attempts to help this newbie
