HOW DO YOU STACK UP?
While you are at it check out how you stack up against some of these throwers.  Girls still throw 4k Shot Puts in college so High School GIRLS throwers can compare where they are at directly with these results.
High School BOYS throw 12lb shot puts and move to 16lb in college. I typically see an average drop off of about 2ft per pound from SR's in High School to FR in college.

MTC NCAA throwers start strong

Corinne Franz, Angela Boushea, Coach Frontier, Mary Theisen

University of Wisconsin hosted an indoor meet Saturday, Jan 25, 2014.  Angela Boushea, a junior at UW, won the Weight Throw competition with a throw of 62'11.5" a throw that ranks her 2nd in the Big Ten Conference.  Mary Theisen, a senior at Indiana State, won the Shot Put with a new P.R. 56'00".  Theisen's throw ranks her 3rd in the women's shot put in the nation.  Corinne Franz, a freshman at Depaul, P.R.d in the weight throw.  It was so fun to watch these women compete!

Congrats to the many MTC throwers competing in college who had great performances in their first meet of the indoor season. Lots of great throws.  Can't wait to see how far you'll go in February and March.
Good Luck on finals and enjoy your break.


KeKe Burks - University of North Dakota - breaks the school record in the WEIGHT THROW.

Also Jason Zahn - Ashland University - goes 55'+ in the shot - not bad for a discus thrower;)
Corinne Franz - DePaul University - breaks 40' in the shot for the first time - not bad for a discus thrower;)

Keep working hard!

GOODLUCK College MTC Throwers

As the NCAA indoor season begins for many schools this weekend, I wanted to wish all the best to the Madison Throws Club throwers competing in college.  Months and years of preparation have gotten you to this point.  The waiting is nearly over, when that first meet begins, do your thing, you are ready!  This season make sure you learn from your successes as well as your disappointments, both offer valuable lessons that can make you better.  Its a long season, build on each meet so that you can throw your best when it means the most to you and your team.
Throw Far,
Coach Frontier

GOOD LUCK! To all of MTC's college throwers.

NCAA conference meets

SHOUT OUT to all of the MTC alumni who competed in their collegiate conference meets this past weekend.  Some great performances, P.R.'s and points scored for your college teams :)  Keep working hard, good luck at last chance qualifiers this weekend and beyond.

North Dakota throws Coach, Peter Miller - created this video to fire up his throwers leading up to the Big Sky Conference Meet...It got me fired up:)  It must have worked for MTC's KeKe Burks - she P.R.'d in the weight throw and broke the school record - passing MTC's Molly Griep who had set a new school record the week before.

To everyone out there...keep chasing your BIG MEET dreams, by making every day's practice drills, lifts, and throws meaningful.  Championships are handed out at the end of each season - they are earned every day at practice!

MTC Alumni making UND history

Madison Throws Club Alumni Molly Griep and KeKe Burks have wasted no time in making their presence felt on their college track team at the University of North Dakota.  Both girls, under the tutelage of coach Peter Miller, have proved fast learners in the weight throw and have climbed their way up the UND record books.  Last Saturday Molly Griep had a new P.R. at 16.33m (53'7")  and broke the previous school record in the event by a foot and a half.  KeKe Burks was not far behind her throw of 15.67m (51'5") was good for 4th on the All-Time UND list.  Strong work for a couple of freshman just learning the event.  The sky is the limit or in their conference the BIG SKY is the limit, both have qualified to compete at the Indoor Conference Championships.

Keep up the good work MTC girls!
