My Season comes to an end, Sigh!

Well, my season is over.

I finished 2nd at SWAIC behind Stephan Sparks from Linton. He is also a Sophomore and I look forward to competing against him again next year.

The weather has been horrible here for the last few weeks and at the last two meets we had a steady drizzle of rain. It made for a terrible time throwing for all.

At Sectionals, I thought we could get it going before the rain came but that wasn't to be. In practice I threw a 143' and everyone was on their toes. I was seeded third going into this meet but again the weather was not going to cooperate and it started raining and we had a strong wind at our backs.

I managed to squeek out with a 6th place finish but only a few feet behind the top 4 who moved on to regionals. Good Luck to Stephan who finished Second at the Sectional meet.

There is next year to start working on now.

I have purchased a 2KG discus to throw every other day to help me get that distance I need. I hope to get to where I am throwing it as far as I was the 1.6KG discus and then when I go back for next season, I can break those old records like they were nothing.

I have field meets this summer to keep me on my game and then camp in June so keep visiting for updates throughout the summer.
