Meet in Iowa
1. 32, 37, SCR
2. 47, P, P, 46, 47, 46
This was athlete 1’s first outdoor meet throwing. Did okay considering he had done shot and hammer prior to throwing. Was VERY timid and ridgid with form. No fludity in movement but was able to get his a 5m improvement by making him focus solely on arm speed.
Athlete 2 took one throw, went to the 100m then came running back finals. He was slightly fatigued but as with athlete 1 not fluid.
Overall I am okay with the performance for our opening meet. Will be emphasing relaxation and arm speed during the week at practice.
A rushed athlete is always a tight one and both had that issue this time around.
Next meet on Friday I will have the women and more men throwing along with myself competing as well.
Should be a fun week of practice, hoping the weather holds through the week.
