Well, 42' for a 16 pound shot, after just 4 days is not too bad. As far as how competitive it'll be, that depends on what level of competition you're taking part in.
NCAA - Div I, forget it. Those guys throw in the 60's and up
Div II / III - Probably around 55'+
NAIA or Jr. College - Around 45'+
Elite college throwers are in the mid to high 60's, the US Jr. National Record (Jrs are below the age of 20) is 67'-9".......Sean Shields (Arizona).
If you could manage to improve to the upper 40's, then I'd say to stick with it

Good, but the distances will increase for college.
