Motor City Classic Invitational Results - 15Jul’23:

Several of us braved the rain and headed over to Oak Park today. It wasn’t that bad in the morning (light sprinkles) but it definitely got heavier in the afternoon for the older kids.

Highlights from the younger throwers in the morning were big PRs in shot from Zoe (well over 2 ft) and Aria (1.5ft). Maggie was very solid in shot and discus (rediscovering the form in javelin is still a work in progress). As I start to look at performance lists for the JO, all 3 are putting themselves in good position to compete for medals in a few weeks.

Highlights from the older throwers in the afternoon was a nice PR for Torran in shot put (great to see the recent improvement in practice carry-over into the meet) and while not a PR, I was very happy with Teegan’s 155’ 5” discus throw in the rain.

– 36’ 6” – 1st place 11-12yr shot
