THROWS MEET
SUNDAY, June 3, 2007
SUNDAY, June 3, 2007
.
NOTE FOR ELITE THROWERS IN THE HAMMER AND DISCUS: We have modified our throwing cage so that the left hand 3/5 of the landing sector goes out for more than 85 meters. Then a hilly , bushy area begins to incroach on the landing area so that down the right hand line there is clearance out to only 55 meters. In the right hand far end of the sector implements disappear into the bushy area making it impossible to measure accurately even if we can find the hammer or discus. Therefore, if you want a measured distance over 55 meters you will have to make sure your implement lands down the left hand 2/3 of the sector.
.
Peninsula Track feels that athletes who concentrate on the throwing events may be short changed in the Island series this year since there is limited Hammer at the Dogwood and no meet at Courtenay. Therefore, we are hosting a throws only meet at Sidney along with the VIAA Pentathlon meet so that throws athletes could get more opportunity to do their thing. Results in individual events from this meet will count towards the Vancouver Island Series awards and the meet also counts as one the four necessary to be eligible for Island Series awards as long as one of the other meets is the Nanaimo or Alberni Meet.
