Club Results from the weekend of 22Jun’24

Surprisingly, we didn’t have too many of our throwers in action this weekend (even though we have the AAU regional meet coming up this weekend).  Maggie and I took part in the Meijer State games of Michigan with Zoe in action at the Blazers Invitational. Maggie had a great meet, setting new PRs in discus and hammer along with a seasonal best in shot put. I finally broke out of my slump in shot going over 39ft three times (40ft still alludes me). Unlike Wednesday night, I didn’t leave my best discus throw in warm-ups and opened the competition with my 3rd best throw all-time since turning 55. Hammer was a mess technically but was only a couple feet off my PR set two weekends ago.

Zoe was the only one that trains with us from Waza that threw at the Blazers Invitational. She easily took first in shot with her 2nd best throw all-time.
