If you are willing to travel and are interested in a great throws-only meet with some good competition, there will be a Hammerman USA Throws Meet in Aurora, IL on Saturday July 20th. Contact me for details.

*** As much as I would like to attend the Shamrock Throws meet on the 24th to get some competition hammer throws myself, we will likely attend the Divine Child Meet as they’ll have discus and shot as a final prep for the AAU JO. ***

Schedule: https://image.aausports.org/sports/JO_Games/2024/24-JOs-Track-Schedule.pdf

For those new to the AAU JO, this is an 8-day meet but your athlete will not need to be there the whole time (especially if they aren’t taking part in the multi-events in addition to open throws). Please see the schedule at this link to find out when they would throw. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns. This will be my 15th AAU JO & 6th trip to Greensboro for a big meet (2 AAU JOs, 1 USATF JO and 2 New Balance HS Nationals).
