Results from the Genesee Swift Invitational in Flint - 20Jul’24:

With a week to go before the start of the AAU National JO, several of our throwers took part in a final tune-up meet at Carman-Ainsworth Middle School in Flint. While the javelin runway was a bit of a mess, the rest of the facility was super nice with 3 separate shot rings/sectors and two separate discus rings. The discus sectors were mowed down like a fairway! We had a beautifully sunny day for throwing and our throwers took advantage of it. We had 7 PRs in 17 events and 5 of 7 throwers had at least 1 PR. Highlights of the meet were huge PR’s from Emma (added 25ft to her javelin PR), Gabriel (added 20ft to his turbo jav PR and another 9ft to his 18ft PR in discus from Wednesday), and Addison (added 9ft to her javelin PR and 3ft to her PR in discus from the indoor season). Zoe added well over a foot to her PR in shot and Maggie pushed her discus PR out over 113ft. Good to see some big marks coming as we look head into the AAU JO! 

The only bad news coming out of the day was realizing the Gabriel isn’t signed up for discus at the JO. His mark today would have him 2ft ahead of the top seed!
