Results from the AAU Indoor National Championships in Virginia Beach, VA: 2Mar’24

Maggie’s indoor season has been a bit of a struggle for her. After hitting a new PR of 40’ 4.5” in early December, she hadn’t been able to break 40ft again all indoor season. Despite limited practices due to playing basketball this winter, she kept the faith that we would figure it out and kept grinding. The last practice before AAU Nationals, there was finally that technical breakthrough we’ve been working towards for a few years now. Fortunately, that form (mostly*) carried over into the AAU Indoor Nationals where she uncorked a massive 3ft PR (43’ 7.5”) on her first throw! That mark and the remainder of her 5 measured throws [ 43' 7.5"  39' 5.5"  41' 5"  39' 10.25"  39' 7.5"  FOUL ] were all good enough to defend her indoor national title. Congrats Maggie!

*Note: Just to give you an idea of how good she was throwing on Wednesday, her National Championship, 3ft PR throw wasn’t as good technically as what I saw at the last practice. Excited to see what she’s able to do during the outdoor season.
