THERE WERE SOME GREAT THROWS LAST WEEK!

I saw some really nice distances from MTC athletes and Clinic athletes! Congratulations to you all. If you didn't open the way you would have liked, go back to work this week in practice and do the work necessary to get better next week. There's a long way to go until May and lots of work to still be done.

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU LUKE SULLIVAN for coming back to Wisconsin each year and sharing your knowledge of the throws with high school throwers. You are a great ambassador of throwing.
The All-American Throwing Clinic is a wonderful tradition. Thanks for everything.

A special thanks to Monona Grove throws coach Brian Storms and Madison Throws Club Alumnist - Jenna Mahaffey for bringing all of your energy and insight to our throwers this winter.

Best of luck to everyone this season. I hope to see you at Luke's All American Throws Clinic and/or this summer at MADISON THROWS CLUB.

Until then, THROW FAR!

SHOT PUT and DISCUS SHOE REVIEW


2010 THROWS SHOE REVIEW part1
Picking out shoes for Track season is always tricky. Its not always easy to find the right shoe in the right size and ordering something you haven't tried can be a bit scary.I tried to make this as easy as possible:

PART 1 - shoes that are built for GLIDE SHOT PUT THROWERS who also throw DISCUS. Some of them have decent crossover to rotational movements but are certainly more geared toward the linear movements of the GLIDE. Since all throwers glide or rotational need a shoe to pivot well on pavement you could get away with DISCUS throwing in these shoes.

Stay tuned for PART 2 - I will do my best with shoes constructed specifically for spinners.
THROW FAR!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ANGELA BOUSHEA of MONONA GROVE HIGH SCHOOL (jr.). WIAA Division 1 Girls SHOT PUT CHAMPION. Way to compete in tough conditions! A new P.R. 44' 8.75" after a 4th Place Finish in the discus.











In the worst conditions of all ERIC PARTON of MIDDLETON HIGH SCHOOL (Sr.) - picked a great time to have a discus P.R. - 152' 3". Good enough for 2nd in the Division 1 Boys Discus. An already fast circle with the addition of the hardest rain of the day caused havoc in the discus for most of the field of competitors. CONGRATULATIONS ERIC!





Great job to all the State Track and Field competitors on a great season.
Kassi Kamps (Sr.) BELMONT D3 - 4th in Shot Put, 14th in Discus.
Tamara Wade (Sr.) LaFOLLETE D1 - 7th in Shot Put, 11th in Discus.
Amanda Spencer (Sr.) VERONA D1 - 10th in the Discus.
Danny Aguayo (Sr.) MADISON EAST D1 - 18th in the Shot Put.
Demonte Reed (Sr.) MONONA GROVE D1 - Discus.
