Results from the LAB MITS Meet: 3Feb’24

It was a long, busy day at the LAB today. We had 6 throwers in action including the first of my Six Mile TC throwers to take part in a meet (only took me a year and a half of cajoling).  I was busy hopping between shot and discus and managed to not miss a single meet throw (surprisingly, I only missed a few warm-ups).

I was very happy with their performances. 5 PRs plus 2 seasonal bests in 11 events! Highlight of the meet for me was Donovan crushing his previous PRs (4.5ft PR in shot, 13ft PR in discus). You know you’ve had one of those days when you measure your PRs in feet and don’t bother with the inches! Zoe (+8.75”), Addison (+6.75”) and Lily (just under 4ft) all had PRs in shot. Addison exceeded her PR in discus; however, given that the official missed her completely falling out of the circle (distracted watching the discus hook inside the right sector line?), I’m just going to call it a seasonal best. Maggie had another strong performance (over 90ft in discus and over 39ft in shot) despite still recovering from a cold. Teegan, despite limited practices due to playing varsity basketball this winter, had a seasonal best in discus which should easily qualify him for the MITS State meet. He had already punched his ticket in shot put.

The indoor season is rapidly drawing to a close. Hard to believe we only have 2 more weekends before the state meet.
