Results for the Weekend of 4/12/08

12 April 2008 at 09:34 - 3 comments - link
Cory Martin (Auburn) showed that not competing during the indoor season didn't hurt him at all.  In his first meet of the season, he opened up with a big personal best of 73.07m (239-09) and easily outdistanced teammated Jake Dunkleberger.  This weekend also saw Simon Wardhaugh (Boise State) return to form after a poor opener with a personal best on Friday.  Overall, the men's action is heating up quickly.  Already this season, 13 throwers have already surpassed 65 meters by my count.  During the entire outdoor season last year, only 17 throwers did so.  The women are also making things interesting.  Among other performances Sarah Stevens (Arizona State) threw a new personal best and school record over the weekend.

pretty low opener...maybe it was a heavier hammer like 18 or something...that would make more sense. this week was surely a 16

Wardhaugh

His earlier mark must have been either heavy or a typo. I know Nick Owens had an opener of 56.96m a few weeks ago. Apparently the mark was actually 66.96m but was copied onto the official results wrong.

His throw from a few weeks ago was in fact with an 18# hammer.
