ALICIA DESHASIER WINS JAVELIN at Pan Am Games


















Friend of Madison Throws Club, Alicia Deshasier has won the Javelin at 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Alicia won the gold medal with a new personal best of 58.01 meters (191'4"). "The experience here in Guadalajara was awesome," DeShasier said. "The opportunity to represent the USA and then throwing a personal record at an international meet is a great feeling."
Alicia lives and works here in Madison, Wisconsin, she trains with UW Badger throws coach Dave Astrauskas. Alicia has helped MTC athletes with beginning Javelin technique. We couldn't be happier for Alicia's big win! Congrats - all of your hard work and dedication paying off. What a great way to close the 2011 season...good luck heading into your 2012 Olympic preparation.
