MTC Masters Throwers - You can THROW at any age

This summer I had the pleasure of working with some local Masters throwers as they prepared for the USATF National Masters Track and Field Championships. Each day they proved it doesn't matter how old you are, you just have to throw because you love it. It was really great to see their enthusiasm for wanting to throw farther and how they sponged up everything I said to try to make them better.

Congrats on your efforts and results!
