Senior Ben Zawislak PRd in disc Freshman Ryan kerr PRd in disc, Senior Justin Park PRd
in hammer. Sophomore Maddie Mast PRd in disc, Senior Lorna Drexler PRd in hammer.

Justin Park, Pat Butler, and Ryan Kerr went 1,2,3 in Javelin respectively. Ben and Justin took 3rd and 4th in hammer respectively.

Lorna Drexler was 2nd in Hammer, and 3rd in Javelin. And Maddie Mast took home the gold for Javelin.

"Everyone did an amazing job cheering for each other-- no other team
there came close to the spirit that we had. People pushed through the
difficulties of COVID and had fun anyway.
They throwers proved that we can bounce back and learn how to dominate
again after a very inconsistent schedule leading up to the meet"- Lorna Drexler

So thrilled and thankful to say our first practice is in the books! Small group but eventually we will get back to larger squads and hopefully a competition!
