Luke Sullivan set the WIAA State Discus Record with a throw of 193'3" at the 1993 WIAA State Track and Field meet. The record still holds up today, 20 years later. Luke went on to be a 4 time All-American at UCLA and since has gone on to a share his expertise with hundreds of throwers at his Annual Clinic here in Wisconsin.
Luke now coaches in Phoenix, Arizona...I can't wait to have him back in Madison!

Theron Baumann goes BIG
Video by D.Hahn
At the first meet of the season we may have seen a preview of power in the Division 1 boys throwing events. Friday night at the Nelson Daniel's Classic, Madison Throws Club throwers Theron Baumann (Monona Grove) and Jason Zahn (Grafton) battled it out in the Shot Put. Baumann's throw of 60'3" won the meet with Zahn chasing at 57'8.5". Theron was rotating in the Shot Put for the first time in competition and broke the 60 foot barrier, it could mean the rest of the throwers in the state are on notice that bigger throws could come in June. Jason and Theron are the Top returning Throwers in D1 Boys throws. Jason has thrown the shot over 59' already this winter and was the runner-up in the Discus last year at state. Theron had top 4 finishes in both the Shot and Discus last year. Great start gentleman and good luck in future competitions.

2011 THROWS SHOE REVIEW for ROTATIONAL SHOT PUT and DISCUS
Sorry for the wait...
Thought I would get this out before the start of the Wiscsonsin High School season. Sorry for you lucky throwers to have an early start, we have to wait until the the second week of March to start practice.
This years ROTATIONAL Throws Shoe Review is focused on Throws specifically made for Rotational events .... Rotational Shot Put, Discus, or Hammer. I did my best at breaking down what I know about whats available by talking to everyone I see in throws shoes about how they like them. Remember when it comes down to it if they don't feel comfortable - they are not for you.
A few things to remember:
1. Throwing shoes should fit like a glove. Sloppy shoes make for sloppy feet in the circle. Parents don't buy throws shoes big in an effort to allow your kids to grow into them.
2. If you glide for shot put it may be easier to by a glide shoe and rotate in it for discus than it will be to glide in rotational shoes. Please refer to last years Shoes for Gliders.
3. Nike Zoom Rotational are probably the fastest rotational shoes in terms of how they hold the ground. If you are beginning to rotate this year perhaps you get something with a little bit more control and work up to the Nike.
4. Rain can wreak havoc on spinners...keep your old glide shoes in your bag, they might be perfect to rotate in at that rainy meet that means a lot to you.
I hope this helps. Choose wisely.
and THROW FAR,
Coach Frontier
